Procesos de subjetivación y movimiento feminista. Una aproximación política al análisis psicosocial de la identidad contemporánea.

La tesis pretende llevar a cabo un abordaje de la subjetividad desde un punto de vista político frente a la concepción de una identidad ahistórica, autónoma y privada que prevalece en el campo disciplinar en el que este trabajo se inscribe: la Psicología Social. Para ello, adoptando una perspectiva transdisciplinar, se utilizan las investigaciones de dos de los autores que han combatido con mayor radicalidad la idea de una identidad naturalizada: Michel Foucault y Pierre Bourdieu. En la Primera Parte presentaremos las herramientas teóricas y metodológicas que nos permitan un abordaje político e histórico de la identidad deshaciendo y deshaciendonos de la dicotomía individuo/sociedad. Con el…

Flexible Subjects: Educational Policy Neoliberal Rationalities

Flexible Subjects: Neo-liberal Rationalities and Education Policy. This article aims to examine training and employment programmes for the young (more specifically, the Spanish Social Guarantee Schemes—Programas de Garantía Social) in relation to neoliberal political rationalities. We believe the introduction of neoliberal policies to have been greater and faster precisely in the periphery of the educational system. To that end, we intend to make teachers' participation in the operation of the policies conceptually visible. The professionals’ discourse about the socio-labour integration of the young –a discourse that legitimises their daily work – will be analysed on the basis of qualitativ…

Subjetivación y Feminismo: Análisis de un manifiesto político

The theme of this article is the the Italian feminist movement of the 1980s. That movement was characterised by political transformation and a crtitique of identity. The article takes as its point of departure the inaugural speech of the movement, the manifesto "Piu donne che uomini" (1983). The analysis that we present is inspired in the work of Michel Foucault. It aims to show to that the production of new feministic subjectivities, when fighting the symbolic dimension of masculine domination, has an intrinsically political character. In the 1980s, in the Italian context and particularly in the feminist movement, the rules of the political game set up by the events of 1968 materialized. T…

Gubernamentalidad neoliberal y producción de conocimiento en la universidad: genealogía de una configuración subjetiva

This article claims that any questioning of the conditions related to the feasibility of critical research projects needs to be done by taking into account the process of commodification of knowledge that has developed in universities due to the incorporation of the modes of neoliberal governmentality. This is a process which redefines the value and use that we give to produced knowledge as well as the subjectivity of university collectives. The way knowledge is understood and the subjective configurations that promote instrumental ways of relating to knowledge in an individualizing and competitive environment need to be taken into account. Therefore, we consider it politically relevant to …

Experience, Subjectivity and Politics in the Italian Feminist Movement

This article describes the political practices of a part of the Italian women’s movement that, as of the 1980s, gave way to the sexual difference thought. Through a political analysis of their own experience, which removed any humanist identity assumptions, the women’s movement generated new practices and discourses. With these, women were able to exert self-criticism, and simultaneously to produce new subjectivities articulated around the sexual difference concept. The difference thought helped highlight the limits of institutional policy, renewing the premises of political analysis and redefining the borders of what was deemed to be ‘political’. Intended to foster dialogue with other femi…

Neoliberal Governmentality and Knowledge Production in Higher Education: Genealogy of a Subjective Configuration

En este artículo, se parte de la consideración de que cualquier interrogación sobre las condiciones de posibilidad de una investigación crítica debe hacerse teniendo en cuenta el proceso de mercantilización del conocimiento, impulsado por la incorporación de los modos de gubernamentalidad neoliberal en la universidad. Proceso este que redefine el valor y el uso que se le da al conocimiento producido y redefine también las subjetividades de los colectivos universitarios: formas de entender el conocimiento y configuraciones subjetivas que promueven modos instrumentales de relacionarse con el conocimiento en un escenario individualizador y competitivo. Por ello, se considera políticamente rele…
