Abstract

The concept of biopolitics as mechanics of power for political techniques of being governed and of governing oneself seems predestined for exploring the social potential of life scientific innovations and possibilities. Consequently, this volume analyzes the governmentality of biopolitics from a gendertheoretical perspective along current societal topics, which express biopolitical techniques of power. In doing so, it not only addresses central societal topics, but also conceptually enhances queer and feminist theorizing.
