Life struggles : war, discipline, and biopolitics in the thought of Michel Foucault -- Poetrymust be defended : post-Waterloo responses toPower's ode to itself -- Sovereignty, biopolitics, andthe use of literature : Michel Foucault and Kathy Acker -- Michel Foucault : biopolitics and biology -- Biopolitics, biological racism, and eugenics -- Some reflections on Foucault's society must be defended and the idea of race-- Necropolitics Achille Mbembe -- Torture, terrorism, and colonial sovereignty -- Manual for a raid and Henslowe's diary : Foucault and the multiple meanings of the document -- Foucault, Auden, and two New York Septembers.

Rethinking Foucault in an Age of Terror focuses on the relationship between literary culture,power, society and war, assessing the critical importance of Michel Foucault's lecture series Society Must Be Defended for contemporary debates about war and terror in literary and cultural studies, as well as social and political thought. Foucault's SocietyMust Be Defended develops his historical investigations of power and knowledge to examine how society is constituted in and through relationsof force, conflict and domination, articulating his account of sovereignty and biopolitics with his theory of force and war to bring a new dimension to our understanding of these fraught issues. His lectures focused in part on English society and culture, and in this respect offer an important and timely challenge to the discipline of contemporary English Studies. In response to this challenge, scholars in history, politics, as well as literary and cultural studies consider the role literaryand cultural texts play in the historical and theoretical conjunction of war, society and politics Foucault outlined.
