Beyond American Dystopia
According to recent media discourse, American contemporary life has finally managed to imitate art, specifically dystopian fiction. Especially in recent years, countless journal articles, TV reports, books, think pieces, and op-eds have claimed again and again that the United States is presently nothing more or less than a dystopian nightmare realized. A flood of headlines-for example, "Trump's America Is like a Dystopian Novel" (Feffer), "Califo…
Regimes of freshness
Today, it seems that nearly every aspect of life is affected by cryogenic techniques: we cool our food, environments, drugs, organs, eggs, milk, semen, tissue, blood and much more. Our central argument is that these developments lead to the formation of a new form of life, which in many ways is the antipode of what Agamben calls bare life. In analyzing the emergence of cryogenic culture from a biopower point of view, this study offers a new persp…
The birth of the urban passenger
This paper argues that modern urban infrastructures are not only constitutive for shaping and maintaining the socioeconomic structure of the city, but also aim to structure and homogenize the practices and perceptions of their users. Whenever new infrastructures are installed in the social realm, they bring about new forms of governance, interaction, experience and habits, sometimes even resulting in new and powerful modes of collective and indiv…
Frischeregime Biopolitik im Zeitalter der kryogenen Kultur
Feeding people means producing population. Biotechnology, encompassing food production as well as assisted reproductive technology (ART), currently emerges as a most important apparatus (dispositif) of governing populations. It should be understood as a means of “biopower” because it not only contributes to reproducing life but also helps to improve and preserve it. Highly depending on refrigeration, modern biopower invents a new type of life, wh…
