AP/ANTH 3440 3.00 Governmentality & Development: Selected Cases

/

This course looks at how the Foucauldian concept of “governmental rationality” or governmentality has been applied in development, with an emphasis on charting the unintended consequences of governmental interventions on subject formation (class, race, ethnicity, gender). For example, Indonesia or India may examined as a test case, with emphasis on the colonial and post-colonial transmission of techniques, strategies and programs, and on those who resist them.
