Description:Taking up the challenge of understanding power in its complexity, this volume returns to and revitalises the concept of authority . It provides a powerful analysis of the ways that relationships of trust, attachment, governance and inequality become possible when subjectivities and bodies are invested in the life of power. The collection offers a vibrant new analysis of the biopolitical, arguing that experience of life has become equated with objectivity in contemporary culture and has thus become a primary basis of authority. Biopolitical or experiential authority can be generated through reference to a variety of experiences, performances or intensities of life including creativity, radicalism, risk-taking, experimentation, inter-relation, suffering and proximity to death. The authority-producing capacities of community and aesthetics are key issues, pointing to vexed relationships between politics and policing, inventiveness and violence.The contributors develop their theoretical analyses through discussion of a range of specific sites including mental-health service user and survivor politics, biological knowledge, refugee activism, stories of suffering, urban art, anarchism, neo-liberal community politics and marketization. "Authority, Experience & the Life of Power "challenges thinking on what the political is and isn t, pushing against the all too easy equivocation of revolutionary break and empowerment.This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Political Power."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
