Abstract
What do animals have to do with biopolitics? The Biopolitical Animal, edited by Felice Cimatti and Carlo Salzani, tries to answer this question through the work of thinkers including Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben, and Achille Mbembe. In this review the authors aim to underline the main issues of the book, through all the essays that compose it.
