Book synopsis

'The Prevention Society' is a definition that can otherwise be summarized as: the information society, the risk society, the surveillance society, the insecure society. This book shows the connections and differences, while at the same time providing a gender reading of the ways in which, through precautionary measures, social control manifests itself. The prevention imperative, today diffuse and pervasive, symbolizes both a self-defining doctrine and justification of a means of repression, segregation, and exclusion. From bodies to daily life to preventative war, the book investigates the effects of this imperative for social control, its connection with neo-liberal hegemonic ideology, and the centrality in it and in its dealings with women and the feminine.
