Description
Abstract
This paper schematically considers the exercise of biopower in the regulation of
food and drink, tracing the spatiality of biopower and biopolitics as they play out
in the trajectory of regulation of two key types of beverage: alcoholic beverages
and fluid milk. Empirically, the paper considers 19th century temperance laws
and 20th century mandatory milk pasteurization in the United States,
highlighting the spatial strategies by which biopower’s reach into digestive tracts
was extended across political territories. The account suggest that biopolitical
resistance enacts spatial strategies as well.
