Biopolitical Media

Catastrophe, Immunity and Bare Life

Allen Meek, Massey University, New Zealand

/Series: Routledge Research in Cultural and Media Studies/

This book presents an historical account of media and

catastrophe that engages with theories of biopolitics. It

explains how responses to catastrophe in both media and

cultural criticism over the past 150 years are embedded in

biological conceptions of life and death, health and illness,

and human and non-human species. This book emphasizes

the use of media to capture viewer attention through shock,

monitor and control bodies in economies of production

and consumption, enmesh social relations in information

networks, and situate subjects in discourses of victimhood,

immunity, survival, and resilience.
