Following the publication of Foucault’s annual lecture series at the <i>Collège de France</i>, scholars have attempted to critically rethink Foucault’s ideas. This is the first volume that attempts to revisit and expand studies of governmentality by connecting it to the theories and methods of discourse analysis. The volume draws on different theoretical stances and methodological approaches including critical discourse analysis, conversation analysis, dialogic analysis, multimodal discourse analysis, the discourse-historical approach, corpus analysis and French discourse analysis. The volume is relevant to students and scholars in the fields of critical discourse studies, conversation analysis, international studies, environmental studies, political science, public policy and organisation studies. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/dapsac.66.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027206572.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027206572.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/dapsac.66.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/dapsac.66.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/dapsac.66.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/dapsac.66.hb.png 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.001ack vii viii 2 Miscellaneous 1 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Acknowledgments</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.01mci 1 70 70 Article 2 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">New perspectives on discourse and governmentality</TitleText> 1 A01 Paul McIlvenny McIlvenny, Paul Paul McIlvenny 2 A01 Julia Zhukova Klausen Zhukova Klausen, Julia Julia Zhukova Klausen 3 A01 Laura Bang Lindegaard Lindegaard, Laura Bang Laura Bang Lindegaard 01 In this comprehensive overview we familiarise readers with Michel Foucault&#8217;s publications that are relevant both to discourse studies and to studies of governmentality. We review the narrow impact that Foucault&#8217;s ideas have had on discourse studies and summarise the scant literature on discourse and governmentality across different disciplines. We elucidate the new scholarly understandings of Foucault&#8217;s later work, as well as engage with the debates about governmentality that have been generated after Foucault. In particular, we give a thorough assessment of the reverberations of Foucault&#8217;s later work on governmentality to clarify its contemporary relevance for discourse studies. Lastly, we introduce and contextualise the theoretical, methodological and analytical innovations in discourse studies to be found in the chapters in this volume, before concluding on the contributions that the book makes to both discourse studies and studies of governmentality. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.s1 Section header 3 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Part I: Intersecting governmentalities in public discourse</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.02las 73 94 22 Article 4 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governing citizen engagement</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A discourse studies perspective</Subtitle> 1 A01 Inger Lassen Lassen, Inger Inger Lassen 2 A01 Anders Horsbøl Horsbøl, Anders Anders Horsbøl 01 This chapter sets out to explore tensions between bottom-up and top-down processes from a governmentality perspective. Using a discourse studies approach, we investigate how forms of public participation in a local climate mitigation project can be viewed as an instance of governmentality in the sense of how the conduct of groups and individuals is influenced by other forces and how groups and individuals influence the conduct of others through participation and involvement. This implies that governmentality is analysed as emerging in concrete, situated practices. Simultaneously, we investigate how a governmentality approach may enrich our understanding of public participation, dialogue and involvement, especially on the complex issue of sustainability and climate change mitigation. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.03ban 95 118 24 Article 5 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The discursive intersection of the government of others and the government of self in the face of climate change</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">discursive intersection of the government of others and the government of self in the face of climate change</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Laura Bang Lindegaard Lindegaard, Laura Bang Laura Bang Lindegaard 01 The chapter demonstrates how empirical discourse analysis can contribute to the study of two issues of particular significance in recent studies of governmentality. Firstly, the observation that the relationship between power and resistance is specifically contradictory, in that resistance marks both a boundary and a constitutive moment of government, and, secondly, the realisation that governmentality is somehow intertwined with the continuous becoming of ethical subjects, or, in other words, with continuously negotiated practices of subjectivation. The chapter pursues and enforces the theoretical argument that practices of subjectivation should be understood as an aspect of the unceasingly negotiated interdependence of power and resistance. This suggests that this theoretical insight can be fulfilled in empirical research if studies of governmentality are interconnected with membership categorisation analysis and conversation analysis. To demonstrate the benefits of this approach, the chapter provides an in-depth analysis of focus group data from sessions in a small Danish village in which citizens accomplish the contested discursive intersection of, on the one hand, a municipal strategy aimed at &#8216;greening&#8217; the citizens&#8217; transportation conduct and, on the other hand, the citizens&#8217; attempt to conduct their own conduct. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.04sol 119 148 30 Article 6 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">The art of not governing too much in vocational rehabilitation encounters</TitleText> <TitlePrefix>The </TitlePrefix> <TitleWithoutPrefix textformat="02">art of not governing too much in vocational rehabilitation encounters</TitleWithoutPrefix> 1 A01 Janne Solberg Solberg, Janne Janne Solberg 01 This chapter uses ethnomethodological conversation analysis (CA) to investigate the empirical manifestations of governmentality in vocational rehabilitation encounters in the Norwegian Labour and Welfare Administration. How can the counsellors&#8217; actions be understood as conducting the conduct of clients in the setting of vocational rehabilitation? How do the counsellors&#8217; practices, especially their ways of dealing with client resistance, relate to the core idea of governmentality as governing, not at the cost of, but through the freedom of individuals? The chapter analyses the dialogue techniques in six instances in which the client uses silence and minimal response tokens to resist the counsellor&#8217;s actions. Earlier CA research has suggested counsellors have a rather unilateral orientation to client resistance. However, this analysis reveals a more responsive orientation, since it demonstrates how counsellors choose inviting, non-intrusive action designs in the first place, as well as make adjustments to the cued client resistance. These practices may be understood as evidencing a technology of sensibility, co-constituting the client&#8217;s agency in situ. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.05hon 149 176 28 Article 7 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governing governments?</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Discursive contestations of governmentality in the transparency <italic>dispositif</italic></Subtitle> 1 A01 Sun-Ha Hong Hong, Sun-Ha Sun-Ha Hong 2 A01 François Allard-Huver Allard-Huver, François François Allard-Huver 01 In a world of controversy and suspicion, transparency promises a &#8216;virtuous chain&#8217; of informed citizens, rational deliberation and democratic participation. In contrast, this essay conceptualises transparency as a Foucauldian dispositif: a network of discourse, tactics, institutional processes and local subjectivities which articulates what kinds of actions and statements are admissible and tactically profitable. Notably, transparency discourse mobilises individual citizens to audit the state &#8211; to govern governments. This becomes the basis upon which the state and other institutions may legitimise and delegitimise one another through strategic uses of transparency discourse. We illustrate these processes through an examination of the &#8216;S&#233;ralini Affair&#8217;: a prominent controversy over GMO, scientific expertise and transparency in France. We analyse transparency discourse invoked by major stakeholders in the Affair, drawing tools from critical discourse analysis and French discourse analysis. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.s2 Section header 8 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">PART II: Discourse, practice and prefigurative governmentalities</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.06ras 179 208 30 Article 9 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governing safe operations at a distance</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Enacting responsible risk communication at work</Subtitle> 1 A01 Joel Rasmussen Rasmussen, Joel Joel Rasmussen 01 This chapter argues that today&#8217;s organisational risk management, where employees are to adopt routines for proper self-control, is fruitfully approached as what Rose and Miller (1992) term governing-at-a-distance. Governing that relies on internal control and the self-governing capacity of citizens requires people to be involved in communication that signifies responsible behaviour. If there is hierarchical monitoring, then it is communication that is supervised which makes the signifying practices all the more important. While previous research has demonstrated that an increasing burden of responsibility is placed on citizens for the risks and health problems they face or envisage, less attention has been paid to the increased communication requirements this development involves. Bridging this gap, this chapter investigates how social interaction in meetings works to facilitate employees to become responsible risk communication subjects. An intensive discourse analysis of five safety meeting episodes demonstrates how the responsibilisation of employees&#8217; risk communication extends questions of (a) form &#8211; such as the duration of talk, (b) paper work, (c) genuineness, (d) contributing on-topic, (e) economisation, and (f) reliability regardless of illness and place. The study takes inspiration from positioning analysis (e.g. Bamberg 2005), allowing for a detailed account of the moment-tomoment process of responsibilisation, something that previous research on risk management tends to skim over. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.07bag 209 234 26 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Dialogue and governmentality-in-action</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A discourse analysis of a leadership forum</Subtitle> 1 A01 Ann Starbæk Bager Starbæk Bager, Ann Ann Starbæk Bager 2 A01 Kenneth Mølbjerg Jørgensen Jørgensen, Kenneth Mølbjerg Kenneth Mølbjerg Jørgensen 3 A01 Pirkko Raudaskoski Raudaskoski, Pirkko Pirkko Raudaskoski 01 We explore how dialogue as governmentality-in-action was both overtly challenged and unintentionally employed in an interdisciplinary leadership development forum held at a university. We study the forum as a site to explore Foucault&#8217;s understanding of the conduct of conduct combined with Agamben&#8217;s and Deleuze&#8217;s proposals to advance and nuance the concept of dispositif. We compare dispositif with Bakhtin&#8217;s and Linell&#8217;s notions of dialogicality and dialogism as sites of centripetal and centrifugal forces with heteroglossia and orientation to third parties. This methodological move makes it possible to study dialogue and dispositif as related concepts that are lived out in situated practices. We employ membership categorisation analysis (MCA) to complement a multimodal conversation analysis of the opening lecture of the forum to show the taken-for-granted nature of the setting as a dispositif. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.08zhu 235 264 30 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Diagnosing transnationality</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Therapy discourse and psy practices in the ethicalisation of transnational living</Subtitle> 1 A01 Julia Zhukova Klausen Zhukova Klausen, Julia Julia Zhukova Klausen 01 The chapter investigates the genealogy of a transnational ethics. That is, in Foucauldian terms, how transnational living is constructed as an ethical substance, the modes through which the actors become invited to problematise their transnational conduct and the telos to which they are impelled to aspire. Using multimodal discourse analysis, the chapter uncovers the discursive technologies through which therapeutic practice (as well as the genres and institutions implicated in it) is employed in using the individual&#8217;s relationship to oneself to exercise and rationalise a transnational ethics. The analysis demonstrates how discursive practices, dispersed across multiple modalities, participate in the formation of alliances between diverse regimes of transnational living, such as computer-mediated transnational spaces, diaspora communities, national and para-national institutions and professional associations. In doing so, the analysis makes visible how new agents and authorities become recruited for administering transnational conduct. The chapter argues that these assemblages and the transnational ethics made visible through the analysis prime the mechanisms of transnational governmentality and prepare the basis for a restrictive morality through which transnational conduct can be regulated. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.09mci 265 294 30 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governmentality, counter-conduct and prefigurative demonstrations</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Interactional and categorial practices in the strange case of the United Nathans weapons inspectors</Subtitle> 1 A01 Paul McIlvenny McIlvenny, Paul Paul McIlvenny 01 The interactional and categorial practices of a prefigurative protest demonstration are examined using video recordings that document a theatrical protest event called &#8220;United Nathans weapons inspectors&#8221; in February 2003. The chapter undertakes an analytics of protest to uncover how fields of visibility, forms of knowledge, technologies and apparatuses, and subjectivities and identities are negotiated and accomplished collaboratively. Conversation analysis (CA) helps us document the ways in which fields of visibility and modes of rationality are sequentially organised. Membership categorisation analysis (MCA) uncovers the categorial work by which subjectivation is morally accomplished in social interaction. The chapter shows how CA and MCA can help trace the interactional, embodied and categorial practices that are endogenous to conducting the conduct of others and the self, and thus which constitute or contest the rationalities of governmentality. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.s3 Section header 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">PART III: Discourse, policy and governmentality</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.10wal 297 322 26 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governmentality through intertextuality</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Strategic planning discourse in the administration of tertiary education</Subtitle> 1 A01 Derek Wallace Wallace, Derek Derek Wallace 01 In this chapter I analyse texts composed and exchanged within the New Zealand tertiary education domain in order to explore the &#8220;will to govern&#8221; (Miller and Rose 2008: 29) in its contemporary manifestation. Using intertextuality as the principle framework, the analysis is grounded in a detailed case study of the use of strategic planning as a technology of government. The investigation reveals the considerable extent to which governments can govern through textual means, notwithstanding a tightening of control over the period studied through changes in regimes of compliance. Notable also in the universities&#8217; enforced adoption of strategic planning is the extent to which the discursive practices that characterise strategic planning in a complex, multi-levelled environment can enhance a liberal rationality of rule. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.11col 323 352 30 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Exploring the intersections between governmentality studies and critical discourse analysis</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case study on urban security discourses and practices</Subtitle> 1 A01 Monica Colombo Colombo, Monica Monica Colombo 2 A01 Fabio Quassoli Quassoli, Fabio Fabio Quassoli 01 In our chapter, we explore how the intersection of governmentality studies with critical discourse analysis (CDA) enables an empirical and analytical examination of the ways in which discursive and non-discursive practices contribute to the rationalities (episteme) and apparatus (techne) of governmentality. To this end, we examine urban security policies and discourses in Milan over the past decade. Drawing on archival data, official statistics and research reports, we analyse the general policy framework that has emerged and consolidated in the period considered. Special attention is paid to a new frame for urban policies inaugurated in 2005 with the stipulation of &#8220;Local Pacts for Urban Security&#8221;. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.12mes 353 386 34 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Revealing the governmentality of demographic change in Germany with the manifold discourse-analytical &#8216;toolbox&#8217; of Foucault</TitleText> 1 A01 Reinhard Messerschmidt Messerschmidt, Reinhard Reinhard Messerschmidt 01 German discourses of demographic change are characterised by alarmism. A continuously growing number of publications in the mass media address population aging and shrinking by depicting mostly dystopian future scenarios. Some governmental strategies employ demographic discourse to prompt individuals to react to &#8216;objective&#8217; scientific facts in their everyday life. If the state is allegedly no longer able to provide social security systems and the society is doomed to suffer from a &#8216;generation-conflict&#8217;, citizens as &#8216;entrepreneurs of the self &#8217; are expected to endorse private social insurances and later retirement. Michel Foucault&#8217;s early to late works are used to analyse the underlying orders of knowledge in textual, numerical, and graphical forms in order to examine the governmental rationale that relies on this knowledge. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.13con 387 392 6 Miscellaneous 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Notes on contributors</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.14nind 393 394 2 Miscellaneous 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.15sind 195 402 208 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20160629 2016 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027206572 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 21 01 00 99.00 EUR R 01 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 149.00 USD S 13016745 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code DAPSAC 66 Hb 15 9789027206572 13 2016004377 BB 01 DAPSAC 02 1569-9463 Discourse Approaches to Politics, Society and Culture 66 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Studies of Discourse and Governmentality</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">New perspectives and methods</Subtitle> 01 dapsac.66 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/dapsac.66 1 B01 Paul McIlvenny McIlvenny, Paul Paul McIlvenny Aalborg University 2 B01 Julia Zhukova Klausen Zhukova Klausen, Julia Julia Zhukova Klausen Aalborg University 3 B01 Laura Bang Lindegaard Lindegaard, Laura Bang Laura Bang Lindegaard Aalborg University 01 eng 409 vii 402 LAN009000 v.2006 CFG 2 24 JB Subject Scheme COMM.CGEN Communication Studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.DISC Discourse studies 24 JB Subject Scheme LIN.PRAG Pragmatics 06 01 This volume brings together analyses of governmentality from different angles in order to explore the multiple forms, practices, modes, programmes and rationalities of the ‘conduct of conduct’ today.

The study takes inspiration from positioning analysis (e.g. Bamberg 2005), allowing for a detailed account of the moment-tomoment process of responsibilisation, something that previous research on risk management tends to skim over. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.07bag 209 234 26 Article 10 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Dialogue and governmentality-in-action</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A discourse analysis of a leadership forum</Subtitle> 1 A01 Ann Starbæk Bager Starbæk Bager, Ann Ann Starbæk Bager 2 A01 Kenneth Mølbjerg Jørgensen Jørgensen, Kenneth Mølbjerg Kenneth Mølbjerg Jørgensen 3 A01 Pirkko Raudaskoski Raudaskoski, Pirkko Pirkko Raudaskoski 01 We explore how dialogue as governmentality-in-action was both overtly challenged and unintentionally employed in an interdisciplinary leadership development forum held at a university. We study the forum as a site to explore Foucault&#8217;s understanding of the conduct of conduct combined with Agamben&#8217;s and Deleuze&#8217;s proposals to advance and nuance the concept of dispositif. We compare dispositif with Bakhtin&#8217;s and Linell&#8217;s notions of dialogicality and dialogism as sites of centripetal and centrifugal forces with heteroglossia and orientation to third parties. This methodological move makes it possible to study dialogue and dispositif as related concepts that are lived out in situated practices. We employ membership categorisation analysis (MCA) to complement a multimodal conversation analysis of the opening lecture of the forum to show the taken-for-granted nature of the setting as a dispositif. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.08zhu 235 264 30 Article 11 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Diagnosing transnationality</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Therapy discourse and psy practices in the ethicalisation of transnational living</Subtitle> 1 A01 Julia Zhukova Klausen Zhukova Klausen, Julia Julia Zhukova Klausen 01 The chapter investigates the genealogy of a transnational ethics. That is, in Foucauldian terms, how transnational living is constructed as an ethical substance, the modes through which the actors become invited to problematise their transnational conduct and the telos to which they are impelled to aspire. Using multimodal discourse analysis, the chapter uncovers the discursive technologies through which therapeutic practice (as well as the genres and institutions implicated in it) is employed in using the individual&#8217;s relationship to oneself to exercise and rationalise a transnational ethics. The analysis demonstrates how discursive practices, dispersed across multiple modalities, participate in the formation of alliances between diverse regimes of transnational living, such as computer-mediated transnational spaces, diaspora communities, national and para-national institutions and professional associations. In doing so, the analysis makes visible how new agents and authorities become recruited for administering transnational conduct. The chapter argues that these assemblages and the transnational ethics made visible through the analysis prime the mechanisms of transnational governmentality and prepare the basis for a restrictive morality through which transnational conduct can be regulated. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.09mci 265 294 30 Article 12 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governmentality, counter-conduct and prefigurative demonstrations</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Interactional and categorial practices in the strange case of the United Nathans weapons inspectors</Subtitle> 1 A01 Paul McIlvenny McIlvenny, Paul Paul McIlvenny 01 The interactional and categorial practices of a prefigurative protest demonstration are examined using video recordings that document a theatrical protest event called &#8220;United Nathans weapons inspectors&#8221; in February 2003. The chapter undertakes an analytics of protest to uncover how fields of visibility, forms of knowledge, technologies and apparatuses, and subjectivities and identities are negotiated and accomplished collaboratively. Conversation analysis (CA) helps us document the ways in which fields of visibility and modes of rationality are sequentially organised. Membership categorisation analysis (MCA) uncovers the categorial work by which subjectivation is morally accomplished in social interaction. The chapter shows how CA and MCA can help trace the interactional, embodied and categorial practices that are endogenous to conducting the conduct of others and the self, and thus which constitute or contest the rationalities of governmentality. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.s3 Section header 13 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">PART III: Discourse, policy and governmentality</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.10wal 297 322 26 Article 14 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Governmentality through intertextuality</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">Strategic planning discourse in the administration of tertiary education</Subtitle> 1 A01 Derek Wallace Wallace, Derek Derek Wallace 01 In this chapter I analyse texts composed and exchanged within the New Zealand tertiary education domain in order to explore the &#8220;will to govern&#8221; (Miller and Rose 2008: 29) in its contemporary manifestation. Using intertextuality as the principle framework, the analysis is grounded in a detailed case study of the use of strategic planning as a technology of government. The investigation reveals the considerable extent to which governments can govern through textual means, notwithstanding a tightening of control over the period studied through changes in regimes of compliance. Notable also in the universities&#8217; enforced adoption of strategic planning is the extent to which the discursive practices that characterise strategic planning in a complex, multi-levelled environment can enhance a liberal rationality of rule. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.11col 323 352 30 Article 15 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Exploring the intersections between governmentality studies and critical discourse analysis</TitleText> <Subtitle textformat="02">A case study on urban security discourses and practices</Subtitle> 1 A01 Monica Colombo Colombo, Monica Monica Colombo 2 A01 Fabio Quassoli Quassoli, Fabio Fabio Quassoli 01 In our chapter, we explore how the intersection of governmentality studies with critical discourse analysis (CDA) enables an empirical and analytical examination of the ways in which discursive and non-discursive practices contribute to the rationalities (episteme) and apparatus (techne) of governmentality. To this end, we examine urban security policies and discourses in Milan over the past decade. Drawing on archival data, official statistics and research reports, we analyse the general policy framework that has emerged and consolidated in the period considered. Special attention is paid to a new frame for urban policies inaugurated in 2005 with the stipulation of &#8220;Local Pacts for Urban Security&#8221;. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.12mes 353 386 34 Article 16 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Revealing the governmentality of demographic change in Germany with the manifold discourse-analytical &#8216;toolbox&#8217; of Foucault</TitleText> 1 A01 Reinhard Messerschmidt Messerschmidt, Reinhard Reinhard Messerschmidt 01 German discourses of demographic change are characterised by alarmism. A continuously growing number of publications in the mass media address population aging and shrinking by depicting mostly dystopian future scenarios. Some governmental strategies employ demographic discourse to prompt individuals to react to &#8216;objective&#8217; scientific facts in their everyday life. If the state is allegedly no longer able to provide social security systems and the society is doomed to suffer from a &#8216;generation-conflict&#8217;, citizens as &#8216;entrepreneurs of the self &#8217; are expected to endorse private social insurances and later retirement. Michel Foucault&#8217;s early to late works are used to analyse the underlying orders of knowledge in textual, numerical, and graphical forms in order to examine the governmental rationale that relies on this knowledge. 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.13con 387 392 6 Miscellaneous 17 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Notes on contributors</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.14nind 393 394 2 Miscellaneous 18 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Name index</TitleText> 10 01 JB code dapsac.66.15sind 195 402 208 Miscellaneous 19 <TitleType>01</TitleType> <TitleText textformat="02">Subject index</TitleText> 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 04 20160629 2016 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 08 775 gr 01 JB 1 John Benjamins Publishing Company +31 20 6304747 +31 20 6739773 bookorder@benjamins.nl 01 https://benjamins.com 01 WORLD US CA MX 21 36 18 01 02 JB 1 00 99.00 EUR R 02 02 JB 1 00 104.94 EUR R 01 JB 10 bebc +44 1202 712 934 +44 1202 712 913 sales@bebc.co.uk 03 GB 21 18 02 02 JB 1 00 83.00 GBP Z 01 JB 2 John Benjamins North America +1 800 562-5666 +1 703 661-1501 benjamins@presswarehouse.com 01 https://benjamins.com 01 US CA MX 21 1 18 01 gen 02 JB 1 00 149.00 USD
