Razão neoliberal, desdemocratização e produção de subjetividades

Abstract

The theme of this thesis is neoliberalism and subjectivity. Our general objective is, from a foucaultian perspective, analyze its mode of operation, its strategies and its effects on the population and individuals. Our specific goal is to investigate how institutions, behaviors, ways of life and worldviews are modulated from the market, guiding principle of neoliberalism. This, in our hypothesis, produces a system of government that employs techniques of pastoral power in the conduct of conduct, elaborates an entrepreneurial ethic, with marketing precepts, which aims to synchronize all spheres of life to their discourses and practices and become a principle of reality, defining the value of truth from the economy. Moreover, in ordering the world through economic forces such as competition and market risks, neoliberalism demands specific conduct, subjectivity in tune with its interests. Thus, debt is considered a governance technique in the processes of subjectivation. What justifies this research is the urgency to understand, transform and reverse the deleterious effects that neoliberalism produces, such as the dissolution of democracies. The worldwide growth of extremist groups, hate speech, intolerance, racism, xenophobia and misogyny express the dimension of the problematic that has emerged in contemporary societies. The understanding is vital to your overcoming. The production of the commons, ties of solidarity, collectivity, equality and freedom are essential values to reorder new world reasons.
