POLSCI 458 - From Biopolitics to Necropolitcs

3 Credit(s) | Lecture |
Course can be counted for credit once

Description:
This course investigates the theoretical tradition that moves political theory from a juridical emphasis on the legal problem of sovereignty, to a broader interrogation of various technologies of power invested in the regulation of life and death. In this course we explore both, the foundational texts of Hannah Arendt and Michel Foucault, as well as the reception, further development, and complication of their theories in the works of other contemporary political theorists, such as Giorgio Agamben, Roberto Esposito, and Achille Mbembe.
