Death Without Weeping, Extimacy, and Biopolitics (Esca van Blarikom)

On this episode of Thinking In Between, we welcome Esca van Blarikom, who is a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell University in New York State. Esca is an anthropologist who recently completed her PhD exploring the experiences of working-age adults with physical and mental co-existing health conditions. She is now working on a project to understand biopolitics in the post-Covid19 era. On this episode of Thinking In Between, she shares three ideas that have influenced her research and thinking:

1) "Death Without Weeping" by Nancy Scheper-Hughes, University of California Press

2) Lacan’s concept of extimacy

3) Foucault’s concept of biopolitics
