About this product
Product Information
Anthropologies of Modernity brings together a range of anthropological writings inspired by the French philosopher Michel Foucault---specifically by his work on governmentality and biopower. It considers Foucault's contribution to current theories of modernity and treats modernity as an ethnographic object by focusing on its concrete manifestations. Authored by some of the foremost writers in anthropology, these essays explore modern government as a field of thought and action. They examine the multiplicity of authorities, bodies of knowledge, strategies, and technologies involved in governing the biological and social life of the human. Their analysis is articulated around diverse phenomena, from colonialism and globalization to war, genetics, and AIDS; and they cover an array of geographic sites, from Brazil and French Guiana to Italy and India.The volume provides an overview of how anthropologists have engaged with Foucault and how he has transformed anthropological theory.

"This is one of the best collections of its kind. Written by leading anthropologists, this volume takes up Foucault's challenge to modern knowledge and significantly expands the discourse on our current cultural and epistemological predicament." Bill Maurer, University of California, Irvine "Ranging across colonialism, globalization, technoscience, biosociality, and necropolitics, each gem in this superbly integrated collection demonstrates how anthropologists inspired by Foucault's ideas about modern government can transcend his Eurocentrism while building on his original provocations." John Gledhill, University of Manchester, & "This is one of the best collections of its kind.
