The Biopolitics of Lifestyle: Foucault, Ethics and Healthy Choices - Interventions
Mayes, Christopher (Deakin University, Australia)
This work focuses on the biopolitical use of lifestyle to govern individual choice and secure population health from the threat of obesity. The characterization of obesity as a threat to society caused by the cumulative effect of individual lifestyles has led to the politicization of daily choices, habits and practices as potential threats.
