The politics of life has been widely studied in different academic disciplines during the last decade. Its original use is usually traced back to Michel Foucault’s notion of ‘biopolitics’, which is an investigation to the form of governance in modern state and disciplinary society through the practice of technological innovations to regulate and to normalize each aspect of human life. In this module, students are expected to explore different approaches to the politics of life according to contemporary thinkers in the focus of interdisciplinary studies: 1) the concept of life in history of thoughts; 2) the politics of life in the interrelationship between contemporary philosophy, political thoughts, social theories, life sciences and ecology; 3) the interplay between bioethics and biopolitics; 4) the politics of life in biotechnology; 5) the controversial issues of politics of life in the contexts of neoliberalism and globalization.
