Description

This critical examination explores how obesity has become a national and international concern, driving medical and non-medical interventions into daily life. The book investigates the biopolitical dimensions of lifestyle governance, analysing how individual choices around health and wellness are shaped by wider systems of power. Through Foucault's theoretical framework, the author uncovers how obesity has been characterised as a societal threat linked to cumulative individual behaviours, transforming everyday practices and habits into matters of political concern. The work challenges conventional assumptions about personal responsibility and health choices, offering readers a sophisticated understanding of how population health agendas intersect with individual autonomy and the exercise of power in modern societies.

Key Features

The Biopolitics of Lifestyle applies Foucauldian theory to examine the political dimensions of obesity interventions and population health governance.

This Routledge publication critically questions assumptions about individual choice and responsibility within contemporary health discourse.

The book explores how daily habits and lifestyle practices have become sites of political intervention and control in modern societies.

Routledge's Interventions series positions this work within contemporary debates about ethics, governance and biopolitics.
