Stuart J. Murray employs a series of transdisciplinary case studies to uncover the structural and rhetorical conditions through which biopower works. These case studies include the concept of ?sacrifice? in the ?war? against COVID-19, where emergent cultures of pandemic ?resistance? are explored alongside suicide bombings and military suicides; the California mass hunger strikes of 2013; legal cases involving ?preventable? and ?untimely? childhood deaths, exposing the irreconcilable claims of anti-vaxxers and Indigenous peoples; and the videorecording of the death of a disabled Black man. Murray demonstrates that active resistance to biopower inevitably reproduces tropes of ?making live? and ?letting die.? His counter to this fact is a critical stance of disaffirmation, one in which death disrupts the politics of life itself.A philosophically nuanced critique of biopower, The Living from the Dead is a meditation on life, death, power, language, and control in the twenty-first century. It will appeal to students and scholars of rhetoric, philosophy, and critical theory. 410 0$aRSA series in transdisciplinary rhetoric. 606 $aBiopolitics 606 $aRhetoric 615 0$aBiopolitics. 615 0$aRhetoric. 676 $a320.01 700 $aMurray$b Stuart$f1967-$01124058 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910629594803321 996 $aThe Living from the Dead$93876596 997 $aUNINA
