ARC: CONCEPT WORK
Biopower and the Contemporary

Welcome to the new blog.

We look forward to making this an international space for debate, thinking, edification and even some fun.

There are a set of debates that we should all enter into.

(1) What is biopower? and what is its connection and distinctions from biopolitics?

On that score: the English translation of the course on "Security, territory, population" is announced for April 2007. Its appearance will signal a new level of interest and debate. Given the horrendous confusions surround the term, as well as that of governmentality, it would opportune to begin to weigh in now.

We will produce some links shortly.
