Description
The Government of Life: Foucault, Biopolitics, and Neoliberalism, edited by Vanessa Lemm and Miguel Vatter, is a comprehensive collection that critically examines Michel Foucault's later work on biopolitics and its relationship with neoliberalism. The book explores how Foucault’s analysis of modern forms of governance, particularly his concept of "biopolitics," offers profound insights into the ways life itself has become the object of political power and economic management in contemporary society. The contributors investigate Foucault’s lectures at the Collège de France, where he traced the emergence of biopolitical governance and neoliberal rationality. They analyze how life processes—health, birth, death, and biological existence—are increasingly governed through techniques that merge political power with economic imperatives. Topics include the governance of populations, the role of markets, the ethics of self-care, and the intersections of power, knowledge, and subjectivity. By bringing together leading scholars in political theory, philosophy, and Foucault studies, The Government of Life addresses pressing issues such as the management of life in global capitalism, the politics of health and security, and the ethical challenges posed by neoliberal governmentality. This volume is essential reading for those interested in Foucault, critical theory, political philosophy, and understanding the complex dynamics of power in the age of biopolitics and neoliberalism.
