Frederike Offizier offers a cultural critique of the intersection between health, security and identity, and explores how the focus on risk and security changes our understanding of health and transforms our relationship to our bodies. Analyzing a wide variety of texts, from life writing to fiction, she offers a critical intervention on how this shift in the medical gaze produces new paradigms of difference and new biomedically facilitated identities: biosecurity individuals. 410 0$aAmerican Culture Studies 606 $aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture$2bisacsh 610 $aAmerica. 610 $aBiopolitics. 610 $aBiosecurity. 610 $aCultural Studies. 610 $aIllness. 610 $aMedicine. 610 $aPrevention. 610 $aSecurity. 610 $aSelf-surveillance. 615 7$aSOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture. 676 $a613.60973 700 $aOffizier$b Frederike$01461821 712 02$aVernetzungs- und Kompetenzstelle Open Access Brandenburg$4fnd$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fnd 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910805686403321 996 $aThe Biosecurity Individual$93670619 997 $aUNINA
