Digital biopolitics: the image of life

In this chapter, I examine components of technology-images through processes of a digital biopolitics, where the images of social difference are created through procedures that science, government and media forms engender. Digital biopolitics has created an image of life. But what does it mean for the political subject to be able to recognize images of herself as DNA strands, as cells in a petri dish, or as a human egg harvested and frozen? To analyze such images, I engage methods of third-wave feminist epistemology, examining the material components of such biopolitical images as mattered states of the body.
