Biopolitics, ideology, and citizenship

Journal of Contemporary Central and Eastern Europe, 2018, vol. 26, issue 2-3, 131-146

Abstract: This article aims to prove that debates on the concept of citizenship eventually demonstrate the ideological underpinnings of biopolitics. Citizenship, discussed especially in the context of bioethical considerations, reflects an ideologically polarized conflict about human nature rather than the simple mechanisms of inclusion and exclusion typical for post-ideological biopolitics. The article describes such a perspective and investigates post-socialist Polish biopolitics to outline the possible levels of analysis and to present how the concept of citizenship may be used to better understand contemporary power relations.
