Arendt, Natality and Biopolitics
Toward Democratic Plurality and Reproductive Justice
Rosalyn Diprose & Ewa Plonowska Ziarek
Published October 2018 by Edinburgh University Press
--Reconsiders Arendt’s philosophy of natality in terms of biopolitical theory and feminism to defend women's reproductive choices and democratic pluralism--
Rosalyn Diprose and Ewa Ziarek provide a reconfiguration of Hannah Arendt’s philosophy of natality from the perspective of biopolitical and feminist theory. They show that Arendt provides new ways of contesting biopolitical threats to human plurality and the way biopolitics, along with sexism, racism and political theology target women’s reproductive agency.
'Diprose and Ziarek give us a powerful defence of reproductive rights when this has never before been more necessary. The book is a tour-de-force, beautifully written and powerfully argued. It is a must-read for activists and theoreticians who have been seeking new ways to defend reproductive freedom.'
– Drucilla Cornell, Emeritus Distinguished Professor, Rutgers University
