This book examines the transformation of historical forms of power and the emergence of new polities and citizen-subjects produced by a new form of power sensory power in the 21st century. Engin Isin highlights how sensory power, driven by artificial intelligence and machine learning, transforms historical forms of power (sovereign, disciplinary and regulative), reconfigures cities, states, and empires, and engenders the autopoietic subject. Drawing from thinkers like Spinoza, Nietzsche, Deleuze, and Foucault, and reworking their theories of power with Austin and Derrida, the book offers a critical perspective on these changes.
Engin Isin is Professor of International Politics at Queen Mary University of London, UK. His research concerns primarily the tension between imperial, colonial or national designs for conduct of people and how people subvert these designs by performative acts and invent political subjectivities. This is the tension he often explores in how people constitute themselves as international citizens. He is the author of Being Digital Citizens, 2nd Edition (2020; with Evelyn Ruppert); Citizenship after Orientalism: An Unfinished Project (2014); Citizens Without Frontiers (2012) and Being Political: Genealogies of Citizenship (2002). He is the editor of Data Politics: Worlds, Subjects, Rights (2019; with Didier Bigo and Evelyn Ruppert); Citizenship after Orientalism: Transforming Political Theory (2015); Enacting European Citizenship (2013; with Michael Saward); Citizenship between Past and Future (2018; with Peter Nyers and Bryan S. Turner); Acts of Citizenship (2008; with Greg M. Nielsen) and Democracy, Citizenship and the Global City (2000). He is a chief editor of the journal Citizenship Studies, which celebrates its 25th anniversary in 2022.
