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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Zombies, Vampires and Mutants, Oh My!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1. The Walking Dead as Biopolitical Nightmare\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2. Feminist Post-Structuralism, Jessica Jones and Rape Culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3. Normalizing and Bio-Powers in the World of Sookie Stackhouse and True Blood\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4. The X-Men and Racialization as Bio-Political Normalization\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5. Difference as Intersectional in the Harry Potter Universe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6. Sense8, Nationhood and Global Power Relations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion: Telling Stories, Transforming Worlds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter Notes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndex\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"McFarland \u0026 Co Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51040416825687,"sku":"9781476668673","price":35.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781476668673.jpg?v=1750946678","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/power-and-marginalization-in-popular-culture-9781476668673","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
