{"product_id":"biometrics-joseph-pugliese-9780415811040","title":"Biometrics: Bodies, Technologies, Biopolitics","description":"\u003cp\u003eBiometric technologies, such as finger- or facial-scan, are being deployed across a variety of social contexts in order to facilitate and guarantee identity verification and authentication. In the post-9\/11 world, biometric technologies have experienced an extraordinary period of growth as concerns about security and screening have increased. This book analyses biometric systems in terms of the application of biopolitical power - corporate, military and governmental - on the human body. It deploys cultural theory in examining the manner in which biometric technologies constitute the body as a target of surveillance and as a data-information object. The book thereby provides a comprehensive overview and critical analysis of both the local and global ramifications of biometric technologies. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Pugliese\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 041581104X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415811040\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/05\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.58lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.41d","brand":"Joseph Pugliese","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48086656450815,"sku":"9780415811040","price":58.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6776b21f-5abb-4466-89f9-988126a03302.jpg?v=1769095853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/biometrics-joseph-pugliese-9780415811040","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
