The global expansion of dignitarian politics has left dignity without a stable set of meanings or referents, unsettling contemporary economies of life and power.Engaging anthropology, theology, and bioethics, Bennett grapples with contemporary efforts to mobilize human dignity as a counter-response to the biopolitics of the human body, and the breakdowns this has generated. To do this, he investigates how actors in pivotal institutions ?the Vatican, the United Nations, U.S. Federal Bioethics?reconceived human dignity as the bearer of intrinsic worth, only to become frustrated by the Sisyphean struggle of turning its conceptions into practice. 410 0$aJust Ideas (FUP) 606 $aRespect for persons 606 $aBioethics 606 $aHuman rights 610 $aBioethics. 610 $aCommission on Human Rights. 610 $aHuman Dignity. 610 $aPresident's Council on Bioethics. 610 $aVatican II. 610 $aanthropology. 610 $abiopower. 610 $ahuman rights. 615 0$aRespect for persons. 615 0$aBioethics. 615 0$aHuman rights. 676 $a179.7 700 $aBennett$b Gaymon, $4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01071136 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996478971703316 996 $aTechnicians of Human Dignity$92565943 997 $aUNISA
