{"product_id":"italian-thought-today","title":"Italian Thought Today","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection provides English readers with a critical update on current debates on biopolitics in and around Italian thought. More than a decade after the publication of seminal books such as Agamben’s \u003ci\u003eHomo Sacer\u003c\/i\u003e and Hardt and Negri’s \u003ci\u003eEmpire\u003c\/i\u003e, the names of, among others, Roberto Esposito, Paolo Virno, Christian Marazzi, and Andrea Fumagalli have recently been brought to the attention of Anglophone scholars and political activists. Several authors have rightly emphasised the evanescent character of biopolitics, and the difficulty in providing a definition of it that could embrace all the conflicting theories of its most celebrated critics and supporters. The present collection is structured around the basic contention that bio-economy, human nature, and Christianity are the three visible contemporary manifestations of the theoretical object\/problem of biopolitics in, respectively, Italian post-workerist economics, post-Marxist philosophical anthropology, and post-structuralist ontology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book was originally published as a special issue of \u003ci\u003eAngelaki\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54234480542040,"sku":"9780415748742","price":192.2,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780415748742.jpg?v=1769546079","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/italian-thought-today","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
