The Brain\'s Body Neuroscience and Corporeal Politics

“you can no more dip up the substance of reality with them than you can
dip up water with a net, however finely meshed” (cited in B. Rubin 2013). I
disagree. Concepts can help you hook up children to machines, can quite
literally evoke potentials, and therefore bring about particular configura-
tions of neurobiological difference. In James’s time and in the contempo-
rary context, the meeting of the conceptual and the biological has material
effects and demands not only bioethical but also biopolitical accountability.
