This anthology collects the texts that defined the concept of biopolitics, which has become so significant throughout the humanities and social sciences today. The farreaching influence of the biopoliticalthe relation of politics to life, or the state to the bodyis not surprising given its centrality to matters such as healthcare, abortion, immigration, and the global distribution of essential medicines and medical technologies.Michel Foucault gave new and unprecedented meaning to the term biopolitics in his 1976 essay Right of Death and Power over Life. In this anthology, that touchstone piece is followed by essays in which biopolitics is implicitly anticipated as a problem by Hannah Arendt and later altered, critiqued, deconstructed, and refined by major political and social theorists who explicitly engaged with Foucaults ideas. By focusing on the concept of biopolitics, rather than applying it to specific events and phenomena, this Reader provides an enduring framework for assessing the central problematics of modern political thought.Contributors. Giorgio Agamben, Hannah Arendt, Alain Badiou, Timothy Campbell, Gilles Deleuze, Roberto Esposito, Michel Foucault, Donna Haraway, Michael Hardt, Achille Mbembe, Warren Montag, Antonio Negri, Jacques Rancire, Adam Sitze, Peter Sloterdijk, Paolo Virno, Slavoj iek

While I appreciate the depth of material in this reader, some essays can be pretty heavy on theory. I had to reread a few sections to fully grasp them. Still, a solid book for those who want to dive deep into biopolitics.

I bought this for my grad class on political theory, and it’s been super helpful. The essays really connect historical perspectives with contemporary issues. It’s a bit pricey, but worth it for the quality of content.
