The Signature of Power - with Mitchell Dean
Sovereignty, Governmentality and Biopolitics
The Centre for the Politics of Transnational Law and the European Constitutionalism Theme of ACCESS EUROPE co-organise this lunch seminar and welcome a leading Foucauldian sociologist, Mitchell Dean.
Professor Dean will present his new book, The Signature of Power. "The Signature of Power is a landmark work. It combines an extraordinary breadth of perspective with pinpoint accuracy about what power means for us today. For students it provides sharp readings of the main approaches in the field. On this level, it operates as a foundational work in the study of power. It builds on this to reframe the concept of power, offering original and exceptionally fruitful reading. It throws new light onto the importance of biopolitics, sovereignty and governmentality" (sagepub.com)
