| dc.description.abstract | This entry discusses biopower with specific reference to the Foucauldian tradition that has inspired its popularization and wide usage as an analytical device. An overview of Foucault's initial theorization of biopower is followed by an account of the main ideas – population, governmentality, the intertwining of welfare and violence, and subjectification – encapsulated by this concept of “the power over life” and which have proven to be of much significance to geographical and social science inquiry. The entry also includes a discussion on some of the key intellectual debates around the meaning and implications of biopower and of the variety of empirical domains where it has been and continues to be productively deployed and developed. | |
