| Abstract: | In contemporary western societies the subjective features of social life have become the object and target of a new expertise. Addressed are the limitations of certain influential approaches to this phenomenon, in particular analyses framed in terms of social control and medicalisation. It offers an alternative framework based on three elements: a conception of government as a varying set of rationales and programmes; the constitutive roles of psychological and managerial techniques and vocabularies; a notion of subjectivity as a capacity promoted through specific regulatory techniques and forms of expertise. |
