The Open University ’ s repository of research publications and other research outputs Population Objects : Interpassive Subjects
While Foucault described population as the object of biopower he did not investigate the practices that make it possible to know population. Rather, he tended to naturalise it as an object on which power can act. However, population is not an object awaiting discovery, but is represented and enacted by specific devices such as censuses and what I call population metrics. The latter enact popula...
متن کاملSubjects as Objects
We tend to put our notion of the soul, the self, the “I” in a different category than other objects we think about. This is not only a common attitude in the general population, but it is also reflected in many examples of philosophical discourse. Philosophers differ, however, in their opinions of how and why the self attains its special status. The two traditional extreme points of view, which...
متن کاملSubjects or objects? Prisoners and human experimentation.
D the 1950s, inmates at what was then called Holmesburg Prison, in Philadelphia, were inoculated with condyloma acuminatum, cutaneous moniliasis, and viruses causing warts, herpes simplex, and herpes zoster.1 For participating in this research, and in studies exposing them to dioxin and agents of chemical warfare, they were paid up to $1,500 a month. Between 1963 and 1971, researchers in Oregon...
متن کاملMOPEDS: Motorized Objects Propelling Ethanol Drinking Subjects.
Mopeds are not subject to the same laws and jurisdiction as cars or motorcycles, including the requirement of a driver's license. We undertook this study to examine the influence of alcohol (ETOH) on moped crashes. We retrospectively reviewed adult moped injuries compared with motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) and motorcycle crashes (MCCs) from 1995 through 2006. Demographics, severity of injury, mo...
متن کاملObjects that make objects: the population dynamics of structural complexity.
To analyse the evolutionary emergence of structural complexity in physical processes, we introduce a general, but tractable, model of objects that interact to produce new objects. Since the objects--epsilon-machines--have well-defined structural properties, we demonstrate that complexity in the resulting population dynamical system emerges on several distinct organizational scales during evolut...
