"Necropolitics can be conceptualized as a contemporary apparatus of biopower, instead of in opposition to biopolitics and biopower. As such, it is extremely useful to theorists who can use this framework to identify the technical, necropolitical apparatuses of knowledge production. This happens through a complex relationship where necropolitical actions expose the innate contradiction in biopolitics: while biopower has the tendency to make favored populations live and let unfavored populations die, it can also prolong the physical life of unfavored populations based on previous knowledge of a biopolitical right through necropolitics. These actions then reinforce the knowledge used to make the decision that evoked the use of necropower"

  Every time I sit down to write a paper, I'm astounded by how much and how little these sentences actually mean.
