In staging an encounter among literature, political economy, and the still emergent sciences of life in that historical moment, the essays collected here reopen the question of how concepts of animal, vegetable, and human life, among other biological registers, had an impact on the Enlightenment project of thinking politics and economics as a joint enterprise. The volume’s contributors consider politics, economics, and the biological as distinct, semi-autonomous spheres whose various combinations required inventive, sometimes incomplete, acts of conceptual mediation, philosophical negotiation, disciplinary intervention, or aesthetic representation.Forms of living.European literature19th centuryEuropean literature18th centuryEconomicsEuropePhilosophyHistoryBiopoliticsEuropeHistoryElectronic books.European literatureEuropean literatureEconomicsPhilosophyHistory.BiopoliticsHistory.320.01Barney Richard A1032060Campbell Timothy C1030830Chakravorty Mrinalini1032061Ford James Edward1032062Goldstein Amanda Jo1032063Macherey Pierre46635Mann Annika1032064Marouby Christian614709Montag Warren713675Packham Catherine791633Serrano Joseph1032065Barney Richard A.edthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtMontag Warrenedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtDE-B1597DE-B1597BOOK9910480793703321Systems of Life2449703UNINA
