Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction


Description

The biological features of human beings are now measured, observed, and understood in ways never before thought possible, defining norms, establishing standards, and determining average values of human life. While the notion of "biopolitics" has been linked to everything from rational decision-making and the democratic organization of social life to eugenics and racism, Thomas Lemke offers the very first systematic overview of the history of the notion of biopolitics, exploring its relevance in contemporary theoretical debates and providing a much needed primer on the topic. Lemke explains that life has become an independent, objective and measurable factor as well as a collective reality that can be separated from concrete living beings and the singularity of individual experience. He shows how our understanding of the processes of life, the organizing of populations and the need to "govern" individuals and collectives lead to practices of correction, exclusion, normalization, and disciplining. In this lucidly written book, Lemke outlines the stakes and the debates surrounding biopolitics, providing a systematic overview of the history of the notion and making clear its relevance for sociological and contemporary theoretical debates.

* Explanation of the Circle of 5ths Christmas wood is full of animals: Badger, Fidgety Fox, Owl (not Biopolitics: An Advanced Introduction free epub Wise Old Owl, just Owl), the Rabbit family, Tiny Mouse, and Robin. It's nearly Christmas and all the animals are getting ready to celebrate - Badger is looking for new friends, Tiny is making (or is that eating...) gingerbread, and Rosie Rabbit just can't get ANY peace and quiet! Five festive stories from the animals in the wood all come together in a fantastically Christmassy finale in a barn with some rather special guests... The moving tribute to the young man Oprah Winfrey called "an inspiration"-told by the woman who raised him. WEIRD: 1. Of, relating to, or suggestive of the preternatural or supernatural. 2. Of a strikingly odd or unusual character; strange. 3. Of or relating to fate or the Fates. Now that you've got the definition check out the weird and wonderful facts in this massive collection of oddities: the brain is the fattiest organ in the body (All the Zumba in the world won't help you drop that weight); salt is the only rock eaten by humans (Although some rocks can be snorted); november 19 is world toilet day (No comment); rattlesnake mating sessions can last more than 22 hours (Ouch); and psychologists can assess your personality from how you dip fries in ketchup (Nice fries, sociopath). Now the next time someone tells you smugly that starfish have no brains, you can counter with any one of these 1,045 facts and remain king or queen of the cocktail (or kegger) chatter.
