Public Lectures: The Government of Life

Public lectures w/ Thomas Lemke, Mitchell Dean and Nikolas Rose
8 April 2013, 14.00-16.30
Copenhagen Business School, Solbjerg Plads, Room DSC033

How might life be empirically studied as a problematic of government? How do particular forms of government generate specific understandings and valuations of ‘life’?  In which ways can we further conceptualise (emergent) relations between normative valuations, knowledge of life/knowledge of living and the government of life/living?
