Literary Narration of the Immunity Paradigms in Biopolitics

From:社科报2022-6-7 14:23

Both the negative biopolitics of Hobbes’“social contract” theory, and the productive biopolitics advocated by political philosophers after Foucault, could be found in the plague narrative of Western literature, Wang Jie indicated in the second issue of 2022 in the Journal of Shanghai University (Social Sciences Edition). What is more meaningful is that the literary narration, conceiving the heterogeneous community of life, accords with dual logic of the immunity paradigm of biopolitics and dialectical relations in semantic differences indicated by Esposito. The literary narration presents in minute detail the complexity, subtlety, openness and imperfect tenses of political discourses under risks and crises. Based on the immune logic and the concept of community in biopolitics theory, the exploration of contradictions, crises and future prospects of modern biopolitics space from the social and historical dimensions of literature research, will provide useful inspiration and reference for the construction of a new order of community in the post-epidemic era.
