Bodypolitics.

From the environmental crisis to the management of migratory flows up to security measures, life and death reappear as crucial problems of thought and political intervention. The modern partition between nature and society, between homo and civis has been replaced by the new intersections identified through the concept of biopolitics and the more recent terms of thanatopolitics and necropolitics. Reference authors will be discussed in order to identify the different conceptions of the body at work in the respective analyses - between passivity and activity, singularity and generalization, agency and representation.
