This book applies the philosophical lens of Michel Foucault's normalizing and bio-powers to zombies, vampires, magicians, genetic mutants and others, asking whether these stories of apparent liberation really are so. Exploring a single theme in depth across a series of pop culture texts, this book encourages a radical new understanding of liberation narratives and of political activism as a mechanism of social change."-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) on television. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social, in literature. 650 0 $a Power (Social sciences) in literature. 650 0 $a Marginality, Social, on television. 650 7 $a Marginality, Social, in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01009175 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01074235 650 7 $a Power (Social sciences) on television. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst02003571 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317020505.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=B03217A4CF3111EB9A1890BA3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
