<i>The Politics of Life Itself: Biomedicine, Power and Subjectivity in the Twenty-First Century</i> (2006), Nikolas Rose examines the transformative effects of brain imaging technologies and recent developments in neuroscience on late twentieth and early twenty-first
century concepts of the self.<span> </span>“Over the past half century,” he argues, “we human beings have become somatic individuals, people who increasingly come to understand ourselves, speak about ourselves, and act upon ourselves—and others—as beings
shaped by our biology.”<span> </span>The papers in this symposium will examine the implications of this newly biologised understanding of subjectivity across the wide range of cultural, clinical and commercial contexts in which it can be found.<span>
</span>The symposium will conclude with a public lecture by Nikolas Rose.</span></p>
