Biometrics: Bodies, Technologies, Biopolitics - Routledge Studies in Science, Technology and Society
Pugliese, Joseph (Macquarie University, Australia)
Biometric technologies, such as finger- or facial-scan, are being deployed across a variety of social contexts in order to facilitate and guarantee identity verification and authentication. This book critically analyses these technologies in terms of the application of biopolitical power – corporate, military and governmental – on the human body.
