The Biopolitics of Feeling: Race, Sex, and Science in the Nineteenth Century - ANIMA: Critical Race Studies Otherwise
Kyla Schuller
Kyla Schuller unearths the forgotten, multiethnic sciences of impressibility—the capacity to be affected—to expose the powerful workings of sentimental biopower in the nineteenth-century United States, uncovering a vast apparatus of sensory regulation that aimed to shape the evolution of the national population.
