<p>âDidier Fassin reinvents the image and language of public health through a daring âshift of gaze.â These compelling lectures offer radical new perspectives on what it means to live under perpetual threat in the 21st century.â<br /><b>Richard Horton, <i>The Lancet</i></b><br /><br />âTrespassing disciplinary boundaries and challenging methodological detachment, Didier Fassinâs timely excursion is a master class in âintellectual dishabituation.â Set against a ravaging Covid pandemic, Fassinâs latest <i>tour de force</i> urges us to rethink the biopolitical and the ethical from the ground up. A much-needed compass for our imperiled present.â<br /><b>JoĂŁo Biehl, Princeton University</b></p>
