Sommario/riassunto

After tactical media became less important, many media activist projects repositioned themselves: in the context of biopolitics they challenge the hegemony of biopower. This volume contains theoretical and empirical contributions to a conference on issues of media activism and biopolitics which has been organized by Innsbruck Media Studies in 2010. Theorists and activists describe and analyze media, whose goal is to enable resistance against regimes of biopower. The control of mobility and visibility, the biopolitics of death, the creation of virtual subjects and chimeras as well as biopolitical production are areas in which activists have intervened and gave rise to a theoretical discourse to which this volume contributes.

Nachdem die taktischen Medien mit Web 2.0 an Bedeutung verloren haben, positionierten sich viele medienaktivistische Projekte neu: im Kontext der Biopolitik fordern sie die Hegemonie der Biomacht heraus.



Dieser Band enthält theoretische und empirische Beiträge einer Tagung, die von Innsbruck Media Studies 2010 zum Thema Medienaktivismus und Biopolitik veranstaltet wurde. TheoretikerInnen und AktivistInnen beschreiben und analysieren darin Medien, deren Ziel es ist, Widerstand gegen Regime der Biomacht möglich zu machen. Die Kontrolle von Mobilität und Sichtbarkeit, die Biopolitik des Todes, die Erzeugung von virtuellen Subjekten und Chimären sowie die biopolitische Produktion sind Bereiche, in denen AktivistInnen interveniert haben und die Anlass zu einem Theoriediskurs gaben, zu dem dieser Band beiträgt. Mit Beiträgen von Pau Alsina, Clemens Apprich, Joshua Atkinson, Suzanne V.L. Berg, Geoff Cox, Alessandro Delfanti, Eddie Glenn, Carolyn Guertin, Cliff Hammett, Valerie Hartouni, Theo Hug, jan jagodzinski, Alexandra Jönsson, Andreas Oberprantacher, Etienne Pelaprat, Raquel Rennó, Claudia Schwarz und Roy Wagner.

Sommario/riassunto

Reproductive Justice is a first-of-its-kind primer that provides a comprehensive yet succinct description of the field. Written by two legendary scholar-activists, Reproductive Justice introduces students to an intersectional analysis of race, class, and gender politics. Loretta J. Ross and Rickie Solinger put the lives and lived experience of women of color at the center of the book and use a human rights analysis to show how the discussion around reproductive justice differs significantly from the pro-choice/anti-abortion debates that have long dominated the headlines and mainstream political conflict. Arguing that reproductive justice is a political movement of reproductive rights and social justice, the authors illuminate, for example, the complex web of structural obstacles a low-income, physically disabled woman living in West Texas faces as she contemplates her sexual and reproductive intentions. In a period in which women's reproductive lives are imperiled, Reproductive Justice provides an essential guide to understanding and mobilizing around women's human rights in the twenty-first century.   Reproductive Justice: A New Vision for the Twenty-First Century publishes works that explore the contours and content of reproductive justice. The series will include primers intended for students and those new to reproductive justice as well as books of original research that will further knowledge and impact society.
