Question

Sex, drugs, and a word with this prefix appear in the subtitle of a book about taking Testogel in the “pharmacopornographic era”; that book is Paul B. Preciado’s Testo Junkie. A philosopher used an adjective with this prefix to describe the metaphorical “tattooing” required for entry to the US after 9/11. A word with this prefix refers to a phenomenon that “regulates social life from its interior” in Hardt and Negri’s Empire, (-5[1])which characterizes the world order via a concept named for this prefix plus “production.” Giorgio Agamben (10[1])(“uh-GAM-bin”) argues that sovereign power can be characterized by a type of politics whose name starts with this prefix, in contrast to a philosopher who defined a related term using this prefix in The History of Sexuality. For 10 points, a word used by Michel Foucault (“foo-KOH”) for the techniques that states use to control bodies consists of what prefix plus the word “power”? ■END■ (10[1])
