Professor Mark Neocleous
Professor - Critique of Political Economy

Marie Jahoda 237

Summary

I am Professor of the Critique of Political Economy in the Department of Social and Political Sciences, having joined Brunel in 1994 in what was then a Department of Government. I am a critical theorist who focuses on questions of state and capital, especially as they pertain to police, security, and war. I also have an interest in the political imagination, especially concerning bodies, monstrosity, subjectivity, and death.

I am currently working on a book called The Most Beautiful Suicide.

In 2024 I have two books coming out: Pacification: Social War and Police Power is forthcoming with Verso, and The Security Abolition Manifesto is forthcoming with Red Quill (in English), with simultaneous publication in Spanish (Katakrak), in Greek (Affect Editions), and in Turkish (NotaBene). 

My most recent book is The Politics of Immunity (Verso, 2022).

More detail of my research is given in the links above called 'Research' and 'Selected Publications'. The 'Selected Publications' section lists only my books. Most of my published work, including my books, is available for free on shadow libraries. Much of it is also available either here:

If there is a publication of mine that you can't find on those sites, email me and I'll do my best to provide it. 

Qualifications:

  • MSc Politics and Sociology (Birkbeck)
  • BSc Philosophy and Sociology (City)
