Liberalism, Governmentality and Counter-Conduct; An Introduction to Foucauldian Analytics of Liberal Civil Society Notions
2015
This article gives an analysis of Foucault’s studies of civil society and the various liberalist critiques of government. It follows from Foucault’s genealogical approach that “civil society” does not in itself possess any form of transcendental existence; its historical reality must be seen as the result of the productive nature of the power-knowledge-matrices. Foucault emphasizes that modern governmentality—and more specifically the procedures he names “the conduct of conduct”—is not exercised through coercive power and domination, but is dependent on the freedom and activeness of individuals and groups of society. Civil society is thus analyzed as fundamentally ambivalent: on the one han…
The Marketisation of Higher Education: Antecedents, Processes, and Outcomes
2021
This chapter explores the ideological antecedents, processes, and outcomes of the marketisation of higher education, with an emphasis on business schools in particular. The chapter begins with a discussion of the theory of Scandinavian New Institutionalism in the context of higher education, explaining how ideologies spread across nations and fields through adoption and adaptation. It then elaborates the ideologies of neoliberalism and managerialism, and their relation to New Public Management. The chapter continues by elucidating the processes which are related to marketisation—namely commodification, corporatisation, and de-professionalisation. It then enumerates the various outcomes of t…

I begin with a general description of each one and proceed analyzing their educational proposals. Finally, the critical review reveals their consistency with a set of social rep…

Ethical Assumptions: A Criticism against Modern Pragmatism
2016
The advent of neoliberalism in the early 1970s marked a new age for ethical practices. Although pragmatism as an approach to ethics pre-dated neoliberalism, the neoliberal approach to political economy ushered in a new kind of pragmatism, owing little to Jeremy Bentham, even less to the American philosophical pragmatists Charles S. Peirce, William James, and John Dewey. Today’s pragmatism has permeated the penal systems of the central countries of the world capitalist system. A new ethics emerged, a neopragmatism. Acts came to be judged by their effects and not by the motives that led to the actions. This altered the doctrine of Abrahamic religions, and led to the disappearance of forgivene…
Detenerse En la pausa, abrir la escritura: experiencia y tiempos desarticulados en la novela de Diego Meret
2015
Este trabajo examina las diferentes posibilidades que plantea la idea de la pausa en la primera novela de Diego Meret, En la pausa (2009). Ya sea como una etapa historica, como una condicion fisiologica o como la escritura misma, la pausa se presenta aqui como aquello que permite proponer una reflexion sobre la recuperacion de la experiencia y la irrupcion de tiempos desarticulados que quiebran las expectativas o las linealidades argumentales o historicas. Propongo, entonces, la pausa como una estrategia narrativa que expone el caracter letargico de los anos neoliberales del gobierno de Carlos Menem en Argentina y la imposibilidad de recobrar la experiencia durante ese periodo. Al mismo tie…
