    by Anne Emmanuelle Berger

  • - Biopolitics and the Critique of Civil Society
    by Miguel E. Vatter
    £88.99

    Takes up Foucault's hypothesis that liberal "civil society," far from being a sphere of natural freedoms, designates the social spaces where our biological lives come under new forms of control, and are invested with new forms of biopower.

  • - Fragments, Frankness
    by Jean-Luc Nancy
    £12.99 - 47.49

    A powerful essay on identity and its fate in our contemporary world. Against various attempts to cling to established identities, Nancy shows that an identity is always open: to alterity and its transformations. Ultimately, one does not have an identity but has to become what one is, without ever returning to a same but solely to difference and singularity.
