Opis

Rosalyn Diprose and Ewa Ziarek show us that biopolitics along with sexism, racism and political theology seeks to control to women's reproductive agency. They reconfigure Arendt's philosophy of natality (birth rate)in terms of biopolitical theory and feminism to defend women's reproductive choices and democratic pluralism.
