We are pleased to announce a new edition of the Culture Machine

BIOPOLITICS

Edited by Melinda Cooper, Andrew Goffey and Anna Munster

From philosophy and complexity theory to flying pigs: the Biopolitics
issue of Culture Machine presents a far-reaching collection of articles
exploring the continuing relevance to contemporary research of the field
of 'biopower' originally opened up by Michel Foucault. How life becomes
a nodal point in the exercise of power and its strategies, how
contemporary science and political practices apprehend life, and the
prospects for fruitful resistance to the imperatives of domination are
the main concerns for this issue.

Featuring:

* Melinda Cooper, Andrew Goffey, Anna Munster, 'Biopolitics, For Now'

* Eugene Thacker, 'Nomos, Nosos and Bios'

* Hannah Landecker, 'Living Differently in Time: Plasticity, Temporality
and Cellular  Biotechnologies'

* Bifo, 'Biopolitics and Connective Mutation'

* Kane Race, 'Recreational States: Drugs and the Sovereignty of
Consumption'

the Networks of  Informatic Life'
