No less than the internal combustion engine, the transistor, or the silicon chip, barbed wire is a quintessentially modern invention, a product that has influenced the lives of millions of people across the globe since its invention in the late nineteenth century. Now in paperback, Barbed Wire: A Political History demonstrates that the invention of barbed wire was a major breakthrough with far-reaching consequences. Cheap and mass-produced, barbed wire accomplished what no other product did before it, or has since done more effectively: the control of vast amounts of open space. Razac describes how barbed wire has been employed in the harnessing of nature, brutal mass warfare, political conquest and repression, and genocide. In a narrative that spans the history of the American frontier, the trenches of World War I, the Holocaust, and beyond, Barbed Wire: A Political History looks unflinchingly at a central and fascinating strand of modern life.… (meer)

In poco più di un secolo, il filo spinato è diventato un simbolo universale di oppressione. tirannia e violenza. Nato in America del Nord come dispositivo destinato a contenere le mandrie e allontanare gli Indiani, ha trovato il suo impiego massiccio nella guerra di trincea tra il 1914 e il '18, e poi di nuovo negli arcipelaghi concentrazionari del mondo intero nel corso di tutto il XX secolo. Di una efficacia massima per un prezzo minimo, straordinario strumento di inclusione ed esclusione, il filo spinato figura tra le invenzioni che segnano la storia del novecento. Il suo impiego tradisce, ben prima della malattia della "mucca pazza", uno dei segreti meglio custoditi dall'economia biopolitica: ciò che si applica alle mandrie si applica anche all'uomo. ( )

Esso rappresenta l'angolo morto della liberale inclusione democratica, il non-luogo in cui si produce il rovesciamento del "far vivere" biopolitico in un discreto "lasciar morire" sociale o reale e, perchè no un giorno, in un "far morire" altrettanto discreto.
