ABSTRACT
Chapter 9 analyses some examples of administrative, social and cultural mechanisms that produce exclusions from population. If population is always a counting of bodies and an accounting of what types of bodies can be counted, then how bodies are demarcated demands that we investigate how marginalisation and exclusion begin at the interface between population and corporeality. Focusing on how indigenous, racialised and migrant bodies are critiqued in public sphere discourse, this chapter explores how the practice of raciality is reproduced over time to condition a concept of population, and how thinking about bodies might help find alternatives that are non-exclusionary.
