| Publisher Description: What are phenomena of contemporary biopolitics in the twenty-first century? Foucault's theory of biopolitics as neoliberalism is opposed to post-political theories developed by Agamben, Hardt and Negri and as such - more instructive. Because microstrategy of power is not Foucault's final word on politics, political genealogy opens the space for creative and local critique of biopolitics. And if military interventions, terrorism and wars against terrorism are exemplary phenomena of biopolitics, bellum justum is a contradictio in adjecto. In response to such biopolitics, the relation between sovereignty and democracy is re-examined and we are entering a time of small revolutions. |
