From Foucauldian Biopower to Energopower and Infopower:An Interview with Dominic Boyer and Colin Koopman
No full textKirsten Hasberg talks to Dominic Boyer, anthropologist and author of Energopolitics: Wind and Power in the Anthroprocene, and to Colin Koopman, philosopher and author of How We Became our Data: A Genealogy of the Informational Person.
