Through self-constitution, the subject is implicated in its own governance within a discourse that is increasingly shaped by neoliberal economic theory. Managerialism has become the modern mode of discipline for self production - an inadequate model for education in that the subject of managerialism, \u003ci\u003ehomo economicus\u003c\/i\u003e, cannot adequately account for the 'other' in the educational relation. Michel Foucault's notion of governmentality is used to unravel the problematic connection between education and economics in the production of human capital. This book does not reject managerialism outright, calling instead for its disciplinary force to be delimited and some attention paid to the 'other' in the pedagogic relationship.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Patrick Fitzsimons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433110024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433110023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/31\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 207\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/2011 pg. 160","brand":"Patrick Fitzsimons","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48442234994943,"sku":"9781433110023","price":46.45,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_16846f98-d0ef-41d5-a28d-efed7adf2b6c.jpg?v=1777196015","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/governing-the-self-patrick-fitzsimons-9781433110023","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
