Produktbeschreibung
Is control the cultural logic of the twenty-first century? With Deleuze's brief but influential work on control as a starting point, the eleven essays in this book focus on the question of how contemporary control mechanisms influence, and are influenced by, cultural expression. They also collectively revaluate Foucault and Deleuze's theories of discipline and control in light of the continued development of biopolitics. Written by an impressive line-up of contemporary scholars of philosophy, politics and culture, the essays cover the particularity of control in relation to various fields and modes of expression including literature, cinema, television, music and philosophy. Frida Beckman is Associate Professor in the Department of Culture and Aesthetics at Stockholm University.
