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

民族誌部分不夠thick 有用其他材料(fiction 節選)彌補之嫌 語言很美 足夠故弄玄虛 argument一般般 通過先後兩部分各三章講述加拿大的因紐特community的life and death。第一部分講canadian government提供的作為biopower形式的anonymous care,第二部分講biopower之外的alternative。全書強調uncertainty 強調image over fact,雖然概念界定不是特彆清晰

評分讀notes很重要。。
評分斷斷續續地終於讀完瞭。對寫作方式有討厭的共振感-因為我自己也愛這麼寫東西,所以既喜歡又排斥這樣時不時令人覺得很absorbing的論述。但書裏的一些概念倒是真的和我的project很搭,隻是我覺得作者都沒有深入講清楚。
