This edited volume is about how we can approach methodologically the agency of being governed. It includes contributions by both junior and senior scholars who grapple with the rewards and difficulties of conducting grounded research about the agency of being governed from a governmentality/biopolitics perspective. "This is a welcome contribution shedding much light on how issues such as agency and resistance can be dealt with in governmentality studies - a field in which it is fair to say that such issues, even if not wholly neglected, have long been viewed primarily as objects to be regulated or governed. (...) All in all, this is a stimulating book both theoretically and methodologically and should be of interest to all who are interested either in governmentality studies or larger issues of agency and resistance." - Carl Cassega°rd, University of Gothenburg
