Global Media, Biopolitics, and Affect: Politicizing Bodily Vulnerability

by Carsten Stage and Britta Timm Knudsen

Book Overview

Knudsen and Stage present both a theoretical framework for understanding and evaluating the role of bodily vulnerability in contemporary media culture and a range of close empirical case studies on such topics as online war commemoration, online protest strategies and illness blogging. In so doing, they explore the relationship between global media, affect theory, and the body as a biopolitical protest tool.
