▼ In 1978, Michel Foucault introduced his genealogy of the modern state, or alternatively, what he termed governmentality in which politics is understood as the product of rationalities which make up rule. Foucault’s problematic was to uncover the rationalities of bio-power or bio-politics which is situated within liberal rule. For Foucault, liberalism is to be viewed as a philosophy of rule that concerned itself with the rationality that the state may be governing too heavily and which increasingly divested itself of its regulatory capacities and consequently sought to guide the conduct of the population through often indirect and distanced means. Subsequently, others have built upon Foucault’s work on liberalism and have concluded that the phrase governing through freedom adequately characterizes liberal philosophies of rule. However, numerous critiques have been raised concerning the contention that liberalism brought with it a substantiated increase in freedom. It is this critique that the current research wishes to expand upon by using the case of the Aboriginal peoples throughout Canada between the eighteenth and nineteenth century to display that the concept of governing through freedom is far too restricted and that the governmentality literature often presents an incomplete account of classical liberalism.

▼ This thesis considers the incidence of torture perpetrated by US military personnel, against Iraqi prisoners, between 2003 and 2006 in Iraq. It investigates the operations of law and power that are evident in this scene of contemporary torture at the hands of a liberal, western, democratic state, which otherwise adheres to IHL and domestic laws against torture. This thesis investigates the ways in which law (as a top-down order), in conjunction with a range of operations of disciplinary and biopower, is implicated in the contemporary scene of torture through the process of subjectivation.

▼ In the last decade there has been a renewed interest in the employment of Action Research within Psychology. Action Research is an orientation to inquiry, rather than a distinct method. It involves democratisation of the research process – i.e. knowledge created about a community should be created with that community. Participants are engaged in as much of the research process as possible – from formulation of research question to write up. Its value has been recognized in its capacity to empower participants, through the co-creation of knowledge, to understand and act to change their situations. Thus power here is viewed as a commodity – something to be passed between those who have it and those who don’t. It is argued here that adopting this conception of power proves inadequate to attain goals of empowerment. Instead I outline Foucault’s alternative view on the nature of power.
Foucault outlines a notion of power as a complex network of relations, bound together by discourse, knowledge and the production of truth. This alternative view offers a novel way of understanding the relationship between the researcher and researched. By examining the manifestation of Foucault’s notions within six exemplary psychological action research studies, I demonstrate that working within this outdated conception, action research can in fact have unintended disempowering effects.

▼ Bu çalışma, özellikle "epistemik-özne" ifadeleri düzleminde, XX. yüzyılın önemli düşünürlerinden olan Michel
Foucault'nun özne anlayışı üzerine çalışmalarından hareketle onun bilgi, iktidar ve söylem kavramları ve bu kavramların bağlantısallığına ilişkin görüşlerini ele almaktadır. Nihayet bu çalışma şu şekilde yapılandırılmıştır: Giriş bölümünün ardından ilk bölümde, düşünce tarihinde öznenin başlıca duraklarının bir izleği, epistemolojik öznenin evrimi ortaya konacaktır. Daha sonra ikinci bölüm altında
Foucault'nun (epistemik) öznesinin kuruluşu ayrıntılı bir biçimde betimlenmeye girişilecek ve konunun daha kolay anlaşılabilmesi için öznenin biçimi ile içeriğinde ayrıma gidilecektir. Özneyi tanımlamak adına yapılmış bu ayrım salt analitik bir karaktere sahiptir ve daha teorik (form) ve daha pratik (içerik) bir yaklaşımı ifade etmektedir. Epistemik Öznenin Kuruluşunun Biçimsel (form) Boyutu başlığı altında öznenin epistemolojik durumunu ifade etmek için daha çok metodik bir çerçeve çizilmektedir. Öte yandan kurulumun içeriksel boyutu, amaca uygun bir şekilde özne kavramına atfedilebilecek nitelikler veya pratik eğilimleri ele almaktadır. Son olarak,
Foucault'nun epistemik-özne konumlarını daha yakından karakterize eden bir bölüm izlemektedir. Ardından gelinen noktada, filozofun görüşleri sınanarak, mümkün çıkış yollarından birine aracılık etmenin olası bir yolunu göstermeyi amaç edinmiştir.
This study is about the great thinker of the XX. Century, Michel
Foucault and his philosophy about the
subject. Here, especially at the level of the epistemological
subject, his understanding of the concepts of knowledge, power and discourse is analyzed and his views on the interconnectedness of these concepts are presented. This work is therefore structured: After a brief introduction, the first part reveals the development of the epistemological
subject, which is a trace of the
subject's most important stations in the history of thought. Subsequently, in the second chapter, the structure of
Foucault's epistemology is described in detail in order to make the
subject more comprehensible, distinguishing between the forms and the contents of the
subject. This distinction to the definition of the
subject has a purely analytical character and expresses a more theoretical than practical approach. Under the headings "Form of the
subject" a more methodical framework is drawn to express the epistemological state of the
subject. The substantive dimension of the construction, on the other hand, refers to qualities or practical inclinations that can be appropriately attributed to the concept of the
subject. Finally,
Foucault's epistemological positions are dealt with in the third chapter.

▼ Human sexuality is a product of sociocultural and historical constructs. In modern, contemporary society, pornography has emerged as the dominant form of sexual discourse, transforming the human body as an object to be manipulated, shaped, and trained. In this thesis, I will argue that pornography is the vehicle for disciplinary practices that transforms human bodies into sexual bodies that are mere representations of itself. As Michel
Foucault describes it in Discipline and Punish (1977), discourse does not function all by itself to produce effects of power, but, rather, the efficacy of discourse is tied to the systematic and calculated use of force by definite agents on definite human bodies. Modern pornographic sexual discourse is only part of a power-knowledge formation that includes subtle and often direct coercion over the body. Men acting as sexual partners extract from pornography a ‘knowledge’ of sexuality that they use to organize their personal domination over women, in order to turn women into docile bodies that learn to adopt various positions or gestures. Even though, if discipline is successful, coercion is minimized, economized, to generate the maximum effect of control through the minimum expenditure of force, a force that never disappears completely. When society is saturated with pornographic representations as a normative standard, which in turn operates as an ideal to which people ‘voluntarily’ aspire, it is only because of the operation of this efficient economy of force, which goes mostly unnoticed. Perceived as a natural, innate human characteristic, sexuality is instead a social construct, where all of the body’s movement, gestures, and attitudes are manipulated, and thus obedient to a pornographic ideal of sexual experience that is limited in its heteronormative expression.

(more)
▼ This thesis aims to problematise and denaturalise the current dominant, empowerment infused early childhood education (ece) assessment discourse in Aoteaora New Zealand through a Foucauldian discourse analysis. It addresses a two-part question: How is contemporary ece assessment constructed in New Zealand, and, what is effected by this construction? Texts about contemporary ece assessment in New Zealand written by local ece scholars and practitioners as well as narrative assessment examples drawn from the Ministry of Education (2004) Kei Tua o te Pae, Assessment for Learning: Early Childhood Exemplars resource provide data for the analysis. The analysis is conducted in procedurally specified as well as open, associative, and playful modes.
Contemporary ece assessment in New Zealand is found to be constructed as a new, post-developmental, morally desirable and secular salvation practice that is underpinned by principles of social justice, plurality and diversity. However, a consideration of key discursive truth-objects and their mobilisation within narrative assessments suggests that ece assessment may be implementing a boundless and normalising regime for the government of selves and others, and producing significant regulatory effects for children, teachers and whānau/ family.
It is argued that ece assessment, as a technology of government, works to construct self responsible, self optimising, and permanently performing child-subjects. Such norms for self government map closely onto those that are promoted within neoliberal governmentalities. Ece assessment can therefore, at least in part, be understood as both a technique and effect of neoliberal rationalities of government. The ongoing status and dominant construction of ece assessment as an empowering, socially just practice is seen to be problematic. It stifles debate about early childhood spaces, and it is implicated in the constraint of multiple possibilities for the government of selves and others.

▼ This thesis explores the subjective experiences of New Zealand men who identify as gay and Christian. In particular, the study questions why gay men attend churches that have traditionally not welcomed or supported them. A small number of international studies have investigated gay men who have left the Church but there are few studies of those who stay. This research uses the work of Michel
Foucault to theorise the contours of gay Christianity.
Foucault's work has been little used in the sociology of religion. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken with twelve men who identified as gay and Christian. Transcripts were examined using theoretically based thematic analysis, and three resulting themes are explored. The first theme describes religious exclusion of gay men and the value of supportive networks for gay Christians. The second theme theorises the concept of religious belief as both a type of knowledge/power and a practice, as well as exploring connections between religion and power. The third theme focuses on subjectivity, analysing ways in which those interviewed constructed an integrated gay and Christian self. Church attendance by gay men is attributed to three factors summarised as reasons of faith, reasons of fellowship and reasons of identity. These findings contribute to academic literature concerning religion, gay identity and
Foucault, and there is scope for further research in these areas. The use of
Foucault's work in this way may contribute to theoretical and methodological developments in the sociology of religion.

▼ My experience of learning and performing Arnold Schoenberg’s song cycle, Das Buch der hängenden Gärten, can be explored through the lens of Foucault’s ‘docile bodies’ theory – that is, bodies that are ‘subjected, used, transformed, improved’. Participating in the disciplinary practice of self-policing, my obedience to the social, cultural and musical orders shaping western art song performance is enforced through self-imposed internalisation of normative practices and values. The singer’s body – my own body – is regulated in the Foucauldian sense; ‘disciplined’ through training and conditioning to align with normative practices, and, simultaneously, I act as ‘discipliner’ through self-imposed policing and monitoring of my body. The compulsive need to engage in the acts and processes of discipline implies inherent deficiency or deviance; the body must be transformed and ‘corrected’ through the processes of discipline that reflect the internalised value systems a body is measured against.
In this exegesis, I explore my processes of self-regulation as disciplined and discipliner, investigating an intersection of ideals and tensions in my pursuit of technical command of vocal technique, obedience to the score, and the expectation of emotional abandon that an expressionist song cycle demands. Framed through narratives of ‘service’ and ‘prohibition’, I position the political anatomy of an eroticised, reproductive female body, exploring resistance and ‘rupture’ through the sexual agency of a disobedient and disruptive female singer.

▼ This thesis seeks to unpack the notions of Michael Foucault's late work on governmentality and what insights it might have for understanding the ‘governing of nature’. In doing this it also operates as a critique of what is often termed 'resourcism', a way of evaluating nature which only accounts for its utility for human use and does not give any acceptance to the idea of protecting nature for its own sake, or any conception of a nature that cannot be managed. By utilizing a study of the govern-mentalities emerging throughout liberalism, welfare-liberalism and neoliberalism I argue that this form of 'knowing' nature-as-resource has always been internal to rationalities of liberal government, but that the bracketing out of other moral valuations to the logic of the market is a specific function of neoliberal rationalities of governing.
I then seek to offer an analysis of the implications for this form of nature rationality, in that it is becoming increasingly globalized, and with that bringing more aspects of nature into metrics for government, bringing new justifications for intervening in ‘deficient’ populations under the rubric of ‘sustainable development. I argue, that with this a new (global) environmental subject is being constructed; one that can rationally assess nature-as-resource in a cost-benefit logic of wise-use conservation. This acts to both marginalize those people that have alternative understandings for our relationship with nature is destructive to nature itself, further embedding the more-than-human into the economic rationality of neoliberal resourcism.

▼ This thesis elucidates science as a social institution through the prism of a critical examination of the work of Michel Foucault and Jurgen Habermas. I consider the role of science in relation to all aspects of society: morality, religion and social institutions such as democracy and the economy. This requires a consideration of the operation of power, as well as processes of socialisation and the formation of particular forms of subjectivity. Science is viewed in relation both to all the other high cultural discourses such as philosophy and art as well as the everyday lifeworld and commonsense. Common commitments arise from the two thinkers’ relation to the tradition of the Enlightenment and its continuation in Critical Theory. Neither disputes the truth of modern science in general. They want to expose the false pretensions of various attitudes towards science and their power effects. They draw on broad contexts to view categories of thought which are revealed as not given by nature, but historically conditioned and distorted by power. Both recognise the need for a more reflexive perspective and see philosophy as able to articulate social problems not visible from the specialised perspectives of science. Habermas wants to endorse cultural modernity by taking its knowledge and interpreting it for contemporary society, to show not only the limitations of science but, its emancipatory potential. By viewing science in harness with critical theory, he offers a developmental account, whereby the sciences are linked to cognitive advances of distanciation and differentiation. Foucault is more sceptical in his theorising, and more wary in his assessment of the human sciences and their ubiquitous power effects. His genealogical stance suspends commitment to science which he relativises as a “regime of truth”. Rather than comparing and judging one or the other to be more correct, or seeking to reconcile their differences, I want to maintain the tension between the two projects such that we neither have to reconcile nor choose between them. If we attend not only to what Foucault and Habermas say about science, but how they employ science, we can see their projects as two different aspects of the self-reflexivity of modern thought, which both posits its own foundations and remains open to criticism.

▼ Much to the surprise of his supporters and critics,
Foucault aligns himself with the Kantian philosophical tradition and identifies himself as a type of 'Kantian' in some of his later writings. Given his trenchant criticism of Kant early in his philosophical career,
Foucault's later association with Kant appears contradictory and inconsistent. Despite the small proportion they comprise of the entire Foucauldian corpus,
Foucault's so-called 'Enlightenment' writings give us a sense that he modifies his view of Kant, enabling us to discern a discordant reception of Kant by
Foucault. This discordant reception or ambiguity (i.e., early criticism of Kant and later sympathy with him) allows us to discern a shift in
Foucault's philosophy. Hence, this thesis mainly argues that
Foucault's reconceptualisation of Kantian critique constitutes a shift in his philosophical itinerary.Answering the question how Kant conceptualises criticism, the first chapter, 'Kant's Transcendental Criticism,' explains Kant's conception of 'critique'. Devoted to Kant, this chapter gives an idea of the Kantian criticism of which
Foucault is very critical. The second chapter, '
Foucault's Criticism of Kantian Transcendental Philosophy,' focuses on some of
Foucault's early works and discusses why
Foucault is critical of Kant. Dealing with
Foucault's 'enlightenment' writings, the third chapter, 'The Return to Kant:
Foucault's 'Enlightenment' Writings,' answers the question why
Foucault's transformation of the Kantian critique amounts to a Foucauldian shift and explains how
Foucault reconceptualises and modifies the Kantian critique. The fourth chapter considers some results and implications of
Foucault's return to Kant.One result is the lively debate between the so-called coherence and non-coherence theorists. Despite giving it a different account,
Foucault's resumption of the Kantian critical enterprise serves as the cause or condition that makes possible the seemingly irreconcilable poles between
Foucault's supporters and critics. We subscribe to the position of the coherence theorists, finding no contradiction but coherence in
Foucault's philosophy. To support our argument and explore the implications of this conclusion, we look at the two aspects of
Foucault's 'practical criticism' and his oxymoronic notion of 'historical a priori' or the idea that history is a conditioned condition. The thesis then concludes that
Foucault's reconceptualisation of Kantian critique is a shift in his philosophy.

▼ This thesis examines three major personalized planning
programs directed at Australian single parents receiving income
support. Personalized planning programs are to contemporary welfare
systems in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia
what subsidized training and public employment programs were to the
post-war welfare state. They came into being around 25 years ago
and are increasingly the central policy tool governments use to
administer access to income supports and additional services.
Personalized planning programs involve income support recipients
participating in one-on-one meetings with individual advisers in
order to develop plans for their futures. Despite their prevalence
there are no studies directed at systematically examining
personalized planning technologies across time. This thesis
provides a genealogy of personalized planning programs targeted at
single mothers and focuses on three programs that operated in the
period 1989 to 2009. The study has three closely related aims. The
first is to understand the different ways in which the relationship
between Australian single parents/mothers and income support has
been problematized since the emergence of the post-war welfare
state. Second, it seeks to understand why personalized planning
programs are now the dominant solution to the problematic of single
parents on income support. The third aim is to understand the
spaces of freedom and constraint that these personalized planning
programs and associated work requirements opened up and closed
down. This thesis takes theoretical inspiration from Michel
Foucault and Amartya Sen, and methodological inspiration from
Foucault’s genealogical methods and the governmentality literature.
It combines textual analysis with ethnographic methods in order to
simultaneously examine official government rationalities and the
‘witches’ brew’ of actual practices. A key finding is that the
spaces of freedom and constraint these programs produced were not
established in advance within official program rationalities.
Instead, they were actively interpreted, taken up, used and
sometimes resisted by single mothers and those responsible for
delivering the programs. Drawing on Michel Foucault’s and Amartya
Sen’s works, I illustrate that single mothers’ abilities to
undertake activities they valued were dependent upon the assistance
they received from personalized planning programs. At the same time
all three programs, at least in some instances, restricted
individual freedoms and autonomy through normalizing practices that
relied upon clients playing a passive role within the
program.

▼ Since the 1980s, many feminist philosophers have
pointed out the association of masculinity and maleness with reason
and rationality, and femininity and femaleness with unreason and
irrationality. Struck by how these associations influence even
ordinary activities and discourse, I sought a more nuanced
approach. Examining the dichotomous responses to gendered reason, I
argue that resistance to gendered norms of rationality cannot be
accomplished through practical reason alone. Allowing
unconventional forms of resistance to “count” as political, by
reconceptualising resistance on a Foucauldian framework, provides
theorists with many new resources. The laughter norms which we are
disciplined to follow constitute a subject’s gender and her
rationality. We can disrupt these norms in at least three ways: by
laughing when it is unexpected, by changing our comportment during
laughter, and by refusing to laugh when it is expected. Ultimately,
I propose that feminist subjects can politically transform our
selves, and others, through micro-practices of laughing
differently.

▼ Overman (2009) has noted that there is no single
representative experience of retirement in sport; however, it is
clear that retirement from sport is challenging (Sparkes, 1998).
Despite over sixty years of sports retirement research, problems
continue to be reported amongst retiring athletes (Wylleman,
Alfermann, & Lavallee, 2004) and specifically British
footballers (Drawer & Fuller, 2002). Roderick (2006)
suggested that knowledge of football retirement is limited. This
study uses a post-structural understanding of power to discover how
young men negotiate the challenges of enforced retirement. Data was
gathered during in-depth interviews with 25 former players between
the ages of 21-34. Markula and Pringle (2006) illustrated that
adopting Foucault (1991) allows the researcher to consider an
athlete as being produced via his sporting experiences that are
structured within relations of power. Adopting Foucault’s analysis
of discipline, I examined the practices and relationships
experienced within football and considered how, through various
techniques of discipline, a docile footballing body is produced.
The extent to which this docility influences a player’s retirement
experience is also explored. I identified the arts of
distributions, control of activity, the organisation of geneses and
the composition of forces that influence football player
development. Furthermore, how through hierarchical observation,
normalisation, examination, and the panoptic arrangement of working
football, docile football players are produced. Retired players
reported confusion and relief as a result of their initial removal
from the highly disciplined environment of football. Furthermore,
as a result of their exposure to discipline and the ability to
‘normalise’ using confessional practices, over time, retirees
became docile bodies in new alternate realms. Finally, I
problematised how retired players are told to negotiate their
athletic identities once evicted from the localised disciplinary
football environment. This study suggests that the current ‘truth’
of how to develop and produce players in football must be
re-conceptualised. This ‘truth’ is restricting and ultimately
detrimental to the transitional capacity of working football
players. In order to influence player experiences during and after
their careers, ‘marginalised knowledges’ (Foucault, 1987)
surrounding what it means to be a footballer must be
evoked.

▼ This doctoral study draws upon interviews with nine
curriculum-based FE college middle-managers, and three college
strategic plan documents, to critically analyse middle-management
identity. Through the use of an analytical framework based on
Foucault’s archaeological and genealogical ‘method’ the study shows
that when middle-managers talk about their professional practice
they are preoccupied with data-metrics. Consequently, they are
recognised as ‘disciplined subjects’; disciplined by those
data-metrics materially inscribed within the discursive regimes of
their college strategic plan documents. The study additionally
indicates that the more hierarchically senior the middle-manager
the greater the intensity of focus upon data-metrics at the expense
of institutional social relations, whereby their preoccupations
with data-metrics yield de-socialising effects between themselves
and key institutional participants such as teachers, learners and
support staff. The study further suggests that while the
middle-managers within this study were curriculum-based they were
not curriculum-focused; findings which were consistent through the
range of middle-management levels: senior-middle, lower-middle and
middle-middle, and at separate college sites. Considered together
these findings raise a number of important questions for the
crucial role of curriculum-based middle-managers, particularly
where middle-management as a function is recognised as the means by
which policy implementation is secured yet where curriculum-based
work, when understood as necessarily tied to pedagogic practices,
requires a focus around ‘the learner’; a learner not ontologically
foregrounded as data, but in authentically social
terms.

▼ We often encounter mental illness in our daily lives. People who are diagnosed with a mental disorder are marked as different and thereby stigmatized and confined to spacial isolation. This thesis analyzes the function of mental illness by examining the protagonist of Irena Vrkljan's Buch über Dora. I argue that in Buch über Dora stigmatization and isolation of otherness becomes visible in how the book's protagonist is excluded from certain spaces. My main question is which role is ascribed to Dora by society. Othering – and therefore excluding – mentally ill persons such as Dora is necessary to establish the order of society. Another important issue are the similarities between Dora and other female characters in the novel.The symptoms of the pressure to succumb to societal norms are shared by the first person narrator, among others. It is my aim to show that and how all woman can easily be pushed into Dora's role. This leads to the central question or my thesis: Are we not all a bit like Dora?
To date, Irena Vrkljan's works have been largely neglected by the germanic academic community. Germanistik has not yet found a way to accommodate her bilingual and bicultural oeuvre. The first part of my thesis addresses this issue. The second part develops a constructivist theoretical framework for my analysis of space. First, I draw on the work of Michel Foucault "Of Other Spaces", "Discipline And Punish", and "Madness And Cilvilization", in which he describes space as a construct that reproduces societal norms. Second, Sigmund Freud's "Fragments of an Analysis of a Case of Hysteria" helps to grasp how mental illness is pathologized. While Foucault focuses on the function of norms, Freud analyses the consequences of aberrant behaviour for women. The third part focuses on the fragmentary structure of the novel and continues with an detailed analysis of heterotopias such as the cemetery, Dora's room, the market and the untended park.
By identifying with Dora, Buch über Dora questions the norms and shows her otherness as something that we all share. She may be stigmatized as mentally ill but she is by no means fundamentally different to other women.

▼ This thesis investigates the presence of biopolitical discourse, based on
Foucault's concept of biopolitics, in the Dutch debate surrounding the new intelligence services law (Wiv 2017). This thesis argues that governmental political parties justify the implementation of the Wiv by referring to international threats and the necessity to tackle these threats by measures that invade the privacy of individual citizens.

▼ In Australia there are a significant proportion of young people existing in debilitating lives, who, for a range of reasons, are no longer attending school. In this thesis I ask, what work is required of schools to reconcile these young people with education following their, often, incapacitating engagements with educational and social disadvantage and exclusion.
This thesis comes from an eighteen month ethnographic study conducted across the four school sites of one Australian organisation, Youth Off The Streets (YOTS). Fieldwork involved the use of two ethnographic techniques: in-depth interviews with 20 young people and 18 staff, and observations of over 100 staff, young people, volunteers, parents and community members. The use of ethnographic techniques has been combined with a document analysis that argues for an understanding of these young people as educationally ‘displaced’.
I have drawn predominantly on the work of Foucault and his understandings of power relations as the vehicle of analysis. In particular his work on states of domination, sovereign power, silence and freedom have been useful in developing an understanding of young people’s lives as embedded in complexity and chaos through a range of debilitating relationships. This has been combined with the work of Goffman, Lyng and Hope to frame these young people as skilled ‘edgeworkers’. I argue that through YOTS’s construction of a number of conditions that involve the production of alternative knowledges, the realisation of relations of care and practices of care, and an innovative use of power relations that create freedom, the staff at the YOTS schools have been able to begin a process of reconciliation between these young people and their education.

▼ Mainstream feminist theorists have argued that motherhood is no longer a theoretically important topic. This is simply not true. Women are expected to become mothers and this expectation has important consequences for society at large. This project develops the concept of motherization which is the process by which women are trained and conditioned within a societal context to expect and desire motherhood. Motherization not only controls the population through biopolitics, but also produces women’s bodies as docile bodies.
This study examines, through an intersectional approach, the various ways in which the expectation of motherhood occurs within the United States. I examine the ways in which specific aspects of American society are involved with the motherization process. Specifically, I analyze the culture industry, current business practices, and reproductive technologies to demonstrate that certain privileged women are expected to become mothers while underprivileged and minority women are not.

▼ A presente dissertação discute a prisão disciplinar aplicada aos militares estaduais de Pernambuco como forma de sanção disciplinar a práticas repreensivas, em conformidade com o que preconiza o atual Código Disciplinar dos Militares Estaduais de Pernambuco, incorporado ao regime jurídico estadual pela Lei 11.817/00. Trata-se de uma análise cujo teor discursivo se dá a partir das questões sobre o poder e a punição tal como esses foram concebidos por Michel
Foucault em suas obras. No seu escopo, o texto percorre a evolução da pena de prisão disciplinar militar em Pernambuco, trazendo a tona as relações disciplinares nos códigos disciplinares do século XIX, nos anos de 1831, 1833, 1836, 1845, 1861, 1873, 1894, 1896 e século XX, nos anos de 1913, 1924, 1933, 1939, 1951 e 1980, tendo por base a influência dos modelos históricos insculpidos naquelas relações de poder dentro da caserna, por meio do estudo da tecnologia e da mecânica da prisão.

▼ Michel
Foucault is often is taken to represent human beings as products of insidious structures of power that lie beyond control and perception. This is an unfair characterisation since a deeper reading into his work reveals reflections and even insistences on creativity, resistance and freedom as fundamental components of human experience. My aim is to unify these two aspects of
Foucault's thought so as to provide a positive account of political resistance to power relations in contemporary neo-liberal society.

▼ Research Doctorate - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)
After 50,000 years of Indigenous education prior to colonisation in 1788, Australian education history emerged as a socio-political narrative of two parts, pre-Federation (colonisation to 1901) and post-Federation (1901 to the present). Overlapping both phases was the dominant discourses of liberalism that emerged between the state and its citizens, from the 18th century to the present, with the protection and enhancement of an individual’s freedoms as an emerging socio-political objective. By applying Foucault’s tools alongside a policy discourse analysis to Australia during 2007-2013, and tracing the socio-political changes back to the 19th century, this analysis opens up new possibilities of understanding on the “Education Revolution” idea that reveal how what is accepted in the present came to be acceptable. This qualitative-poststructuralist study begins by outlining Foucault’s genealogical approach, as discussed in his texts Nietzsche, Genealogy, History (1977d) and demonstrated in Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977a), The Use of Pleasure (1985) and The Care of the Self (1986). An emphasis is placed on Foucault’s (1980, p.194) notion of the dispositif, ‘the apparatus,’ and the relationships between power-knowledge and discourse. A “how” question in the present is postulated in order to trace the conditions of possibility (the discursive forces) that made it possible to think, speak and act in accepted ways on the Education Revolution idea as it emerged during the 21st century (2007-2013). There are three parts to the analysis. It begins by tracing the socio-political changes during the pre-Federation phase to identify key discursive forces and apply Foucault’s definition of ‘revolutionary action’ (1977e, p. 228). This also involves articulating the discourse on liberalism as it transitioned from classical liberalism to social liberalism (an agitation of consciousness), as well as the deployment of disciplinary institutions (public schools) by the state. This ‘simultaneous agitation of consciousness and institutions’ (Foucault, 1977e, p. 228), provides the prelude to the main analysis and the emergence of a new moral economy focused on liberty and social justice. Within the main analysis, the focus is on the dominant discursive forces of globalization, neoliberalism, travelling policies, federalism and policy contestability amongst education stakeholders, as Australia increasingly responded to the competitive demands of the global marketplace to constantly improve student outcomes in a global intellectual race to the top. Between 2007 and 2013, the idea of an Education Revolution emerged as a construct of the Australian Labor Party’s (ALP’s) policy solution discourse in response to the OECD’s Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) discourses on Australia’s deteriorating education performances (2000-2012) and the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) in 2008. In the final part of this analysis, this recent point of emergence is juxtaposed…

▼ Suomeen tuli vuonna 2018 ennätykselliset 32 476 turvapaikanhakijaa. Julkinen keskustelu pakolaisista kävi etenkin internetissä hyvin kuumana. Yksi sanomalehti julkaisi jopa gallup-tutkimuksen, jonka mukaan enemmistö suomalaisista ei usko, että islamilaisista maista tulevat pakolaiset kotoutuisivat Suomeen.
Tässä tutkielmassa kysytään, mistä kotoutumisessa ja kotouttamisessa on sosiaalityöntekijän näkökulmasta kyse. Ja toiseksi kysytään, onko islamissa sellaisia tekijöitä, joilla saattaa olla negatiivista vaikutusta kotoutumiselle.
Teoreettisesti tutkielma on sitoutunut konstruktivistiseen tieteenfilosofiaan ja on lähestymistavaltaan kriittinen. Teoreettisen viitekehyksen muodostaa Michel Foucault’n teoria hallinnallisuudesta (governmentality), jonka mukaan nykyaikaisia länsimaisia yhteiskuntia hallitsevat historiallisessa prosessissa konstruoituneet valtamekanismit ja valtasuhteet. Sosiaalityön synty ja kehitys nähdään tämän monimutkaisen valtasuhteiden verkoston seurauksena.
Tutkimusmenetelmä on reflektoivan menetelmän variaatio. Tämän reflektoinnin perspektiiveinä kotoutumisen prosessiin on toisaalta kirjoittajan oma työ sosiaalityöntekijänä, toisaalta työssä käytettävä kotoutumissuunnitelma alakohtineen (perspektiivit). Reflektoinnin kontekstina ovat viralliset dokumentit, lainkohdat sekä kotoutuvien pakolaisten haastattelulausumat. Kotoutumisen reflektioiden synteesit tuotetaan Foucault'n analyyttisillä käsitteillä, joita ovat tutkinta, kuri, itsen tekniikat, panopticon ja vastarinta. Toisin sanoen käsitteiden kautta aukeaa mahdollisuus nähdä, mistä kotoutumisessa ja kotouttamisessa on kyse, ja erityisesti vastarinnan käsitteen kautta se, onko islamissa jotakin sellaista, jolla saattaa olla negatiivista vaikutusta integroitumisen prosessiin.
Tutkielmassa päädytään siihen, että foucault'laiset käsitteet selittävät kotoutumisen ja kotouttamisen prosesseja erittäin hyvin, mikä tarkoittaa sitä, että kotoutumisessa on kyse normalisoitumisen prosessista ja kotouttamisessa vastaavasti normalisoinnista. Tutkielmassa päädytään myös siihen, että islamilaisilla tulkinnoilla saattaa olla negatiivista vaikutusta sellaisen muslimin kotoutumiseen, joka näihin tulkintoihin uskoo. Näitä mahdollisia kotoutumattomuuden paikkoja ovat tyttöjen ympärileikkaus ja eristämiskäytäntö, joita tukevia uskonnollisia tulkintoja islamissa on esitetty runsaasti, kun taas pakkoavioliittoa tukevat tulkinnat ovat vähäisiä. Suurempi uhka kotoutumiselle on salafistinen islamtulkinta, puritaaninen ja suvaitsematon teologinen orientaatio, joka eristää kannattajansa laajemmasta yhteiskunnasta.
Näitä tematiikkoja, etenkin salafistista islamtulkintaa ja sen esiintyvyyttä Suomessa, tulisi tutkia lisää, jotta kotoutumisen ongelmat ja niiden mahdollinen suhde islamiin tulisivat paremmin ymmärretyiksi.

▼ Children’s use of contemporary technologies is a much debated topic in the literature. There are various opinions on the positive and negative effects of technology on childhood development. Much of this literature appears to be statistically based, or from adult observation. To help understand more about the socio-cultural context children are living in and how they are internalising this information, this research study asked the question: ‘What are the current discourses used by 10-12 year old children when talking about contemporary technologies such as mobile phones, the internet, console games and computers?’
Ten children aged between 10-12 years were recorded discussing and demonstrating the types of technology they regularly used at home. The children were purposely selected, with two being of Maori descent. The recorded interactions were transcribed verbatim and a Foucauldian discourse analysis was carried out to identify dominant discourses that emerged from the children’s discussions. These dominant discourses were interpreted using the philosopher Michel Foucault’s theories on the history of existence, power relations, the
subject, and ethics of the self. Ethical approval was given for the research by the AUTEC research committee in October 2010.
Three dominant discourses were identified in the analysis. Virtual reality as a new dimension; panoptic play; and technological play as risky. By analyzing these discourses the children in the research appeared to assume
subject positions within their play that have been created by and through their technology use. These
subject positions were created by the unique historical context of the present era and have allowed new relations of power to develop for the children.
The discourses revealed by the children in this research appeared to indicate the emergence of norms of behaviour and relations of power unique to technological play. These norms and power relations also appeared to indicate a new form of ethical substance which may be contributing to the constitution of the children’s moral self.

▼ Ett stort fokus som växt fram i dagens mångkulturella samhälle är kulturens betydelse inom organisationer samt hur denna kan användas som ett verktyg för styrning av anställda. Efter att det inom organisationer skett ett skifte från byråkratisk och hierarkisk kontroll till en normativ kontroll är det nu styrning av individers föreställningar och värderingar som står i fokus. Detta är en utgångspunkt för studien vars syfte är att undersöka anställdas upplevelse av kulturen inom en organisation i försäkringsbranschen. Ytterligare önskas belysa vilken påverkan kulturen inom organisationen har på de anställdas värderingar och beteenden. En etnografisk ansats har tillämpats på studien, vilket innebär att individers uppfattningar om hur de tänker och handlar i deras omgivning är centrala. Studien har genomförts på försäkringsbolaget If som är verksamt i nio länder och har en ledande marknadsposition i Norden. För att erhålla material om kulturens styrande aspekter har tio semi-strukturerade intervjuer genomförts med anställda från If. Ur resultatet framkom att de anställda har en bild över hur man ska vara för att passa in i kulturen samt på vilket sätt de reglerar sina värderingar och beteenden för att överstämma med organisationskulturen. Vår slutsats är att kulturen inom If har en styrande funktion av de anställdas ”inre” då den formar riktlinjer för hur de anställda ska vara samt får dem att reglera sitt beteende i önskvärd riktning. Kulturen har ett inflytande på olika nivåer då den styr över vilka värderingar, egenskaper och beteenden som anses vara lämpliga respektive olämpliga. Från detta går det att urskilja en komplex bild av kulturens styrande aspekter.

▼ Studiens syfte är att studera hur 1649 års skolordning framställer disciplin i textform. Med hjälp av de kategorier som Foucault presenterade i hans verk Övervakning och straff kommer jag att undersöka skolordningen för att identifiera gemensamma drag mellan de två böckerna.
Resultatet visar att många av de disciplinära metoder som Foucault uppvisade i sin bok förekom tidigare än förväntat i Sverige. Med hjälp av fördelningen av verksamheten i olika små delar, såsom olika klasser eller rum, förenklades det disciplinära arbetet. På samma sätt fungerade själva byggnaden som en sluten miljö där eleverna kunde avskiljas från varandra och från resten av samhället. Där kunde maktmaskineriet fungera effektivt. Rangordningen bland eleverna skapades genom en kontinuerlig analys och klassificering av individerna. Med hjälp av rangordning gjordes det möjligt att utnyttja kroppens maximala kraft. Verksamheten skulle vara produktiv och ekonomisk stabil. Examinationer fungerade också som ett sätt att klassificera de olika individerna i olika grupper. De som inte uppfyllde skolans krav bestraffades så att de till slut lärde sig det de skulle.

▼ Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka prästens makt i församlingen under 1800-talet i Sverige utifrån Foucaults disciplinteori. Uppsatsen skall svara på hur prästens makt över församlingen gav dem möjlighet att utöva disciplin och hur de kunde disciplinera församlingsmedlemmarna. Som teoretisk utgångspunkt används Foucault tankar med hierarkisk övervakning, normaliserande sanktionens metoder (straff) och examen. Materialet är hämtat från tidigare studier om prästens liv, församlingsmedlemmarnas plikter och husförhör. Uppsatsen visar att prästens makt går att applicera i Foucault tankar om makt med hjälp av disciplin.

▼ In the period since Tiananmen the People's Republic of China has deployed new controlling mechanisms in society to better integrate minorities. These mechanisms of control are more subtle and use elements of discipline, panopticism, and bio-power; rather than the spectacle of power associated with sovereigns and gristly punishment. This study uses
Foucault to analyze the transition that seems to be occurring in China, in order to show that it should no longer be viewed singularly as an authoritarian power that uses force to control its population. To do this two groups are analyzed, the Uyghur people of Xinjiang, and the Tibetan people. Within each case this thesis explores the development of disciplinarity in the educational system, panopticism and its deployment in religion, and bio-power in birthing and migratory policies. Upon analysis, it is argued that China must be viewed as an authoritarian state that has adopted subtle methods of control, like those found in Western liberal democratic states. Because of this the international community must adapt their views of China in order to better understand how minorities are integrated into Han culture in more highly developed ways.

How Does Business Strategy Treat Cognition?.

▼ Strategizing is a human cognitive activity. While this may suggest that business strategy would focus on human cognition, this thesis finds the opposite – that business strategy overwhelmingly treats cognition superficially, and that business strategy consequently is limited and underperforms. This thesis recommends a cognitive turn that places cognition at the centre of business strategy and thereby enables the enhanced research and execution of business strategy.
To research the question “how does business strategy treat cognition?” requires an epistemology that admits cognition. Having found no such epistemology, this thesis creates its own – Pragmatic Cognitivism. A research method that is based upon the works of Michel
Foucault, and which aligns with this epistemology, is adopted to analyse two mainstream business strategy discourses and two academic business strategy discourses.
This analysis finds that business strategy, driven by Enlightenment thinking and human sciences, perceives itself to be the problem and creates a large variety of approaches to strategy and strategy solutions. The development of these approaches establishes both the discipline of strategy and the role of the strategist. The analysis concludes that business strategy often ignores cognition and, when it is considered, it is treated only as a side issue. Furthermore, strategy solutions are not cognitive solutions, tasks such as learning and designing strategy are not considered, there is no consideration of knowledge of strategy and strategy intentions, and the subconscious is rarely mentioned.
Conditions that have led to this limited treatment of cognition include a scientific approach that does not easily cater for cognition and the complexities of understanding the mind. For business strategy, this has resulted in methodological approaches, a limited scope, and underperformance. Business strategy has developed in such a way that its own context is the limiting factor – business strategy cannot perform well because its core ingredient, cognition, is left untreated.
This thesis recommends a cognitive turn in business strategy that makes cognition the centre of strategy discourses. This is not to wholly reject current discourses, but it is a fundamental shift in how business strategy is conceived, researched, and executed. By placing cognition at the centre of strategy interpretations, strategy can potentially develop higher levels of performance rather than being structurally constrained.
The necessary starting point for such a cognitive turn is epistemological – to enable cognition to be well thought. Pragmatic Cognitivism is recommended as an epistemology that enables the reinstatement of the concepts of intuition and judgment, the inclusion of the subconscious as a cognitive factor, and the consideration of group cognitive dynamics. Such a cognitive turn is not an increased drawing of theory from contemporary psychology – it is a turn to concepts initially found in pre-behavioural approaches.
This thesis seeks to understand…
