- This book involved extensive historical research and a multi-disciplinary approach by which art history, aesthetic philosophy, life science and political philosophy were combined to develop a biopolitical reading of art. The book took five years to research and write and involved mastering specialisms from state theory and race theory, to the history of evolutionary science, sexual liberation and neoliberal urban development. Each of the book’s five chapters focuses on a different problematic and historical period (from 18th to 21st century) to adduce an immanent and progressive understanding of the relationship between biopower and art’s development within modernity and post-sovereignty.
