Recenzje

"Didier Fassin reinvents the image and language of public health through a daring 'shift of gaze.' These compelling lectures offer radical new perspectives on what it means to live under perpetual threat in the 21st century."Richard Horton, The Lancet"Trespassing disciplinary boundaries and challenging methodological detachment, Didier Fassin's timely excursion is a master class in 'intellectual dishabituation.' Set against a ravaging Covid pandemic, Fassin's latest tour de force urges us to rethink the biopolitical and the ethical from the ground up. A much-needed compass for our imperiled present."João Biehl, Princeton University
