From Andy’s trip to Europe, another promising set of connections in the Biopolitics of Security Network based out of Lancaster University. Comrades both conceptually (Foucault’s population security is one key point of reference) and in terms of the network form. Also some similar attempts to draw connections between the biosciences, biopolitics, and new assemblages of security. To add to our list of fellow travellers.
COLLABORATORY: VITAL SYSTEMS SECURITY
The Vital Systems Security collaboration examines how, today, security is being constituted as an object of knowledge, intervention, and political reflection. It proposes that the security of vital systems such as energy, transportation, communication and health is one norm in relationship to which security is being reproblematized. A central goal of the collaboration is to examine these issues through collective, conceptually driven inquiry that addresses rapidly developing contemporary problems.
I AM INTERESTED IN THE RESEARCHES ON SCIENCE-SECURITY NEXUS IN THE CONTEXT OF BIOPOLITICS. COULD I BE MADE AWARE OF RELEVANT PROJECTS,PUBLICATIONS,EVENTS,ETC.?
