University of British Columbia Peter Wall Institute of Advanced Studies PHYSICAL CULTURE, POWER, AND THE BODY
	INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE/ SEMINAR 15 and 16 OCTOBER, 2004
“We should not forget that what puts the question of the body at the forefront of social science is, on the one hand, the meeting of feminism, science studies and a fair amount of Foucault’s redescription of subjection, and on the other the expansion of bio-industry into all the details of our daily existence.” Latour, 2004.
