Reviews
“Again, this is a highly recommended work, and will challenge readers to think beyond the set categories of politics and ways in which biopolitics can provide insights, and subsequently take further our research on power and the order of the neoliberal state.” - Rob Imre, Somatechnics
“Beyond Biopolitics marks a significant contribution to the flourishing field of biopolitics. Clough and Willse have assembled a collection that speaks from the heart of a US radical tradition.” - Lorna Weir, Canadian Journal of Sociology
“Beyond Biopolitics explores new forms of life emerging while modern strategies for the governance of populations mutate and metastasize into strange new configurations—biosecurity, biocapital, thanato-politics, speculation, risk, and violence. The contributors document the myriad ways that the old racisms and colonial power relations are re-energized by state and market tactics to govern terrorism, environmental catastrophe, and the global flows of information, people, genes, and viruses. In its prescient identification of these dynamics, Beyond Biopolitics gives us a map of life’s near-future.”—Catherine Waldby, co-author of Tissue Economies: Blood, Organs, and Cell Lines in Late Capitalism
“These essays by some of today’s most exciting and innovative theorists interrogate the connection between biopower and governance from an extraordinarily wide range of perspectives. Together they give us a complex and multifaceted view on the contemporary nature and functioning of power.”—Michael Hardt, co-author of Commonwealth
