Description: Improper Life : Technology and Biopolitics from Heidegger to Agamben, Paperback by Campbell, Timothy C., ISBN 0816674655, ISBN-13 9780816674657, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Contemporary biopolitics, argues Campbell (Italian, Cornell U.), frequently devolves into thanatopolitics, or a politics of death. The key to understanding why this is so, he contends, is in the unexplored relation between techne and death that can be found in the writings of many of the most prominent philosophers exploring the realm of biopolitics, including Martin Heidegger, Giorgio Agamben, and Roberto Esposito. He draws on Michel Foucault's Security, Territory, Population and Hermeneutics of the Subject in order to posit a theory of the practice of bios in terms of attention and play that he thinks is better able to avoid the problems of mastery that characterize the accounts of techne that tend towards thanatopolitics.
