Lisa Stevenson is Assistant Professor of Anthropology at McGill University and the editor of Critical Inuit Studies: An Anthology of Contemporary Arctic Ethnography (2006).
"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

评分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.
评分民族志部分不够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
