Contents:

Biopolitical visual economy: image, apparatus, and the cerebral subject -- Future perfect: first-person shooters, neuropower, preemption -- Contingent pasts: affectivity, memory, and the virtual reality of war -- Emergent present: imagination, montage, critique.

Summary: "In Biopolitical Screens, Pasi Väliaho charts and conceptualizes the imagery that composes our affective and conceptual reality under twenty-first-century capitalism. Väliaho investigates the role screen media play in the networks that today harness human minds and bodies--the ways that images animated on console game platforms, virtual reality technologies, and computer screens capture human potential by plugging it into arrangements of finance, war, and the consumption of entertainment. Drawing on current neuroscience and political and economic thought, Väliaho argues that these images work to shape the atomistic individuals who populate the neoliberal world of accumulation and war."--Publisher's description.
