"Here on the Outside": Mobility and Bio-politics in Michael Winterbottom's Code 46.
In Michael Winterbottom's Code 46 (2003), recurrent motifs of global mobility and securitization encode contemporary anxieties about mobility, migration, and terrorism through motifs of genetic, biological, or viral disruptions of national and bodily boundaries. These can certainly be located in ter...

These can certainly be located in terms of the 9/11 and 7/7 events, but also in terms of Anglo-American overseas involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan, in the consequences of these actions for indigenous and US/UK populations, and in the ethical and ideological distortions they produce. This article uses the work of Giorgio Agamben, Hannah Arendt, and Michel Foucault in the field of bio-politics and biopower to analyze Code 46 in terms of its representations of subjectivity, inclusion and exclusion, and systems of regulatory control. Like other contemporary sf and horror films that focus on bio-politics, Code 46 presents a world of globalized mobility striated by class, gender, and ethnic difference. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Science Fiction Studies is the property of University of California Press and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
