Résumé :
|
Can one explain the power of global capitalism without attributing to capital a logic and coherence it does not have? Can one account for the powers of technoscience in terms that do not merely reproduce its own understanding of the world? The book examines these questions through a series of interrelated essays focused on Egypt in the twentieth century. These essays explore the way malaria, sugar cane, war and nationalism interacted to produce the techno-politics of the modern Egyptian state.
