Sommario/riassunto |
|
'Tactical Biopolitics' suggests that the political challenges at the intersection of life, science and art are best addressed through a combination of artistic intervention, critical theorising and reflective practices. The multidisciplinary contributions focus on the political significance of recent advances in biological science. |
