{"product_id":"9781906496265","title":"Mute Magazine - Vol 2 #11","description":"In this issue of Mute we revisit the question of 'the human' in the age of biopolitics. What do philosophers, activists and 'pro-revolutionaries' have to say about homo sapiens in a world where monstrous claims on value demand populations be reduced to 'bare (hardworking) life'? From repression of messy 'species being' in revolutionary milieus, to the managerial dream of putting supposed species traits like language and empathy to work, the stakes of determining humanness, or resisting that determination, are high.\u003cp\u003eBurdened by the Absence of Billions?\u003cbr\u003eHoward Slater reviews Frére Dupont's Species Being and Other Stories\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHe's Not Beyond Good and Evil\u003cbr\u003eNina Power asks if there's a point to Paolo Virno's unhappy human\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMonstrous Plans \u0026amp; Good Habitats\u003cbr\u003eMark Crinson on suggestions that anti-colonisation struggles were also about architecture\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Political Immunity of Discourse\u003cbr\u003eErik Empson on Roberto Esposito's Bios\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWishful Thinkers of the Calamity Bazaar\u003cbr\u003eJohn Barker says the time to attack the fantasy world of capitalist spin-doctors is now\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Who and Whom of Liberty Taking\u003cbr\u003ePeter Linebaugh asks how it's possible to discuss liberty in the absence of equality\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDuck!
