"Life Beside Itself is a profound reflection on the psychic life of biopolitics and how the biopolitical state, committed to enhancing the life of the population, renders lifeless a people’s particular form of life. Lisa Stevenson writes with attentiveness to the care that binds the living and the dead in Inuit communities. That is itself a form of ethical living. Her writing is surely touched by grace. Her book illuminates the problem of suicide as the light of the moon illuminates a darkened sky. She helps us not to turn away from this suffering but to hold it. This book is truly a treasure."—Veena Das, author of Affliction: Health, Disease, Poverty

用户评价

断断续续地终于读完了。对写作方式有讨厌的共振感-因为我自己也爱这么写东西，所以既喜欢又排斥这样时不时令人觉得很absorbing的论述。但书里的一些概念倒是真的和我的project很搭，只是我觉得作者都没有深入讲清楚。

Excellent writing skill. How can we imagine life without-out the power of biopolitics? The book, in the end, is still vague about the answer.

真的很会写，分析能力也很惊人，但是又给人感觉很虚，毕竟材料少。这样的care是care吗，还是governmentality,全程没提阿甘本的bare life，有些好奇为啥。

语言复杂

民族志部分不够thick 有用其他材料（fiction 节选）弥补之嫌 语言很美 足够故弄玄虚 argument一般般 通过先后两部分各三章讲述加拿大的因纽特community的life and death。第一部分讲canadian government提供的作为biopower形式的anonymous care，第二部分讲biopower之外的alternative。全书强调uncertainty 强调image over fact，虽然概念界定不是特别清晰
