Description for Productive Body, The
Paperback. What can a body do under capitalism?�Ground-making explanation that links Marx to Foucault. Num Pages: 148 pages. BIC Classification: HPS; JPA. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 214 x 140 x 11. Weight in Grams: 164.
The Productive Body asks how the human body and its labor have been expropriated and re-engineered through successive stages of capitalism; and how capitalism's transformation of the body is related to the rise of scientific psychology and social science disciplines complicit with modern regimes of control. In Discipline and Punish, Foucault cited Guery and Deleule in order to link Marx's diagnosis of capitalism with his own critique of power/knowledge. The Productive Body brings together Marxism and theories of the body-machine for the goal of political revolution.

Reviews for Productive Body, The
The technological mutations of the apparatus of production, the division of labour and the elaboration of the disciplinary techniques sustained an ensemble of very close relations (cf. Marx, Capital, vol. i, chapter XIII and the very interesting analysis in Guerry and Deleule). Each makes the other possible and necessary; each provides a model for the other.'
