Necropolitics

Author: Achille Mbembe

Mbembe draws on post-Foucault debates on biopolitics, war and race, and Fanon’s notion of care as a shared vulnerability, to explore how new conceptions of the human that transcend humanism might come to pass. These new conceptions would allow us to encounter the Other not as a thing to exclude, but as a person with whom to build a more just world.
