OverviewMichel Foucault (1926-84) was a French philosopher, social theorist and political thinker. Jacopo Martire investigates the development of modern law in conjunction with what Foucault termed biopolitical forms of power. He gives you a much-needed genealogical analysis of the modern legal phenomenon, opening new avenues for Foucauldian approaches to law.

Table of ContentsReviewsTaking radical legal theory in a wholly novel direction, Martire argues that contemporary biopolitics, marked indelibly by the emergence of the virtual subject, liquid institutions and an increasingly xenomorphic social body has exploded the utility of modern law and the most specifically the concept of rights.
