Bodies for Profit and Power

Science Fiction and Biopolitics

By: Lisa Wenger Bro

Early dystopian science fiction like George Orwell's 1984 or Thea von Harbou's Metropolis show us bleak worlds where capitalism has no boundaries and has corrupted sovereign powers, exploiting the lower classes and benefiting only a few at the top. Political laws and policies related to human life--or the biopolitical--devalue that life, making humanity little more than expendable "machines" producing for capitalism, and capitalism's focus on progress has made it a central concern in much of science fiction. Covering science fiction from the early 1900s to present, this book examines the portrayal of dystopian capitalism and the biopolitical in works like Brave New World and R.U.R., among many others.

Pardon Me. It's Ham, Not Turkey

By: Lisa Suhay

It's the little book that inspired President Bush to visit the first Thanksgiving site (in Virginia). As seen in The Washington Post, The Washington Times, The Christian Science Monitor, and many other prominent newspapers and magazines. History Was Never This Much Fun! It is mystery and intrigue at the White House. Why would an American President pardon a turkey? How did the turkey become the symbol of Thanksgiving? Such are the questions that perplex a young student, who wonders how these traditions got started. In his quest for answers, he discovers that the historical truth of the first Thanksgiving isn t quite as expected. The mystery unfolds in delightful fashion in the new children's picture book Pardon Me. It's Ham, Not Turkey. From celebrated author Lisa Suhay (There Goes A Mermaid!) and award-winning illustrator Pamela Barcita (Ruby Lee the Bumble Bee), Pardon Me teaches children about the true first Thanksgiving, not the version that many textbooks relate. It also introduces the concept of the President pardoning a pig rather than a turkey, and promotes the idea of the humble pig rather than the long-celebrated turkey as the symbol of this national holiday. With its charming, whimsical illustrations, Pardon Me is a delightful interweaving of fact and conjecture that provides a thoroughly enjoyable history lesson for all ages. The story ends with a call-to-action that encourages readers to sign an online petition supporting a pig pardon.
