State enforcement to \u2018make live\u2019 through force\u2010feeding also raises important questions concerning processes that inform government approaches, often through methods considered to be brutal, and how these actions fit within perceptions of civilised behaviour. The social scientific focus of hunger strikes tends to be informed by Foucauldian bio\u2010power and governmentality which we draw upon when applying insights from figurational sociology. These insights allow us to better capture shifting social processes and changing public attitudes and behaviours that weaken state control over life and death. Different empirical examples are drawn upon, namely prison based forced feeding programmes that are directed at international \u2018Islamicists\u2019, Irish republicans and British suffragettes. Comparing groups' levels of integration within controlling states' societies, highlight distinctions in power balances, layers of mutual identification and entwined public perceptions and state reactions that help explain the implementation, cessation or continuation of force\u2010feeding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/1468-4446.13196","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,11]],"date-time":"2025-02-11T06:51:56Z","timestamp":1739256716000},"page":"578-589","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Forced to Live: Controlled Forced Feeding of Political Prisoners and the Challenge to Nation\u2010States\u2019 Civilising Processes"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"76","author":[{"given":"Stephen","family":"Vertigans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Applied Social Studies Robert Gordon University  Aberdeen Scotland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8242-0070","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"John","family":"Connolly","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"DCUBS Dublin City University  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paddy","family":"Dolan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Social Sciences Technological University Dublin  Dublin Ireland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,2,10]]},"reference":[{"volume-title":"Homo Sacer: Sovereign Power and Bare Life.
