Summary

"A deeply historicized engagement with the new materialism, and a reading of the aesthetics of state biopower in the context of the rise of microbiology, Deviant Matter looks at the history of food, science, medicine and intoxication to explain how particular kinds of matter, including jelly, rot, intoxicants, and ferment, became figures for deviant life as new sciences of hygiene and energy management became tools of state power"-- Provided by publisher.
