This book applies the philosophical lens of Michel Foucault's normalizing and bio-powers to zombies, vampires, magicians, genetic mutants and others, asking whether these stories of apparent liberation really are so. Exploring a single theme in depth across a series of pop culture texts, this book encourages a radical new understanding of liberation narratives and of political activism as a mechanism of social change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46455085498519,"sku":"9781476668673","price":5088.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781476668673.webp?v=1769173934","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/power-and-marginalization-in-popular-culture-the-oppressed-in-six-television-and-literature-media-franchises-9781476668673","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
