The paper focuses on political meaning of the project of human enhancement. Liberal eugenics emphasizes individual freedom to decide upon biotechnological enhancement. It separates the social as institutional conditions for individual choice, from the biological that constitutes the substance of the choice. This paper claims that present situation of individual choice has always been inseparably linked with production of the subjects who are made responsible for maximization of their life and health. In this way the biological becomes itself the main dimension of the social. The main concepts are borrowed from Michel Foucault’s analysis of biopolitics and also from the studies of biotechnologies accomplished by his followers. While the debate of human enhancement tends to focus on whether it can be accommodated within some concepts of human nature, this paper suggests a range of issues related to political meaning and consequences of the projects of enhancement.

From a common sense perspective health is an absolute value. However, even in European societies, with their well-developed institutional infrastructure of preventive healthcare, individuals need to be encouraged, or even forced, for practicing self-care. The Russian state is also interested to promote a healthy lifestyle and self-preservation behavior among the population. Nevertheless, sociological data demonstrate ...

Разнообразие попыток доместикации смерти и умирания от COVID-19 в медийных репрезентациях высвечивают бедность, недостаточность и неадекватность языков социальной теории. Цель моей статьи – найти связь между «слепыми пятнами» теории и эквивалентами, которые создают медиадискурсы, чтобы заполнить эти пробелы, найти гомологию между антропоморфизмом, некрополитикой и героизацией личной борьбы с вирусом и смерти. ...
