Human-animal co-existence is central to a politics of life, how we order societies, and to debates about who 'we' humans think 'we' are. This book reflects the multi-sited, multi-species, multi-logic and multiple ways in which lives are and have been assembled, disassembled, practised and possibly policed and politicized.
By bringing together historically-oriented approaches and contemporary ethnographies which engage with science and technology studies (STS), this book reflects the multi-sited, multi-species and multiple ways in which lives have been assembled, disassembled, practised, policed and politicized. The book not only asks how control and knowledge are and have been extended over life, but also what happens when control fails; at practices which defy orders, escape detection or fail to produce. In doing so the book problematises and extends the Foucauldian notion of biopolitics, providing a unique resource of cases and theory regarding the ways in which we live together with non-human others.
