Didier Fassin, James D. Wolfensohn Professor in the School of Social Science, has authored Ripoliticizzare il mondo: Studi antropologici sulla vita, il corpo e la morale (Ombre Corte, 2014), which is a series of essays on the anthropology of life, body, and morality. At a time when people in many parts of the world are voicing their disillusionment with politics, it becomes necessary to question the very meaning of the concept, not from the perspective of institutions, parties, and platforms, but in terms of substance, purpose, and issues. Based on research from three continents, Fassin explores the three dimensions of this question: the politics of lives, of bodies, and of morals. Their analysis through case studies concerning poverty and immigration, asylum and disease, social justice and humanitarian reason thus outlines the project to re-politicize the world.
