Concerns with the nature of and relationship between responsibility
and responsibilisation pervade contemporary social, political and
moral life. This book turns the analytical lens on the ways in
which responsibility and responsibilisation operate in diverse
educational settings and relationships, and social, policy and
geographical contexts in the USA, Europe, the UK, New Zealand and
Australia. Scholars have sought to explain the genealogy and the
melange of rationalities, technologies, bio-politics and modes of
governmentality that bring responsibility and responsibilisation
into being, how they act on and are taken up by individuals, groups
and organisations, and the risks and possibilities they create and
delimit for individuals, social collectives and their freedoms.
Contributors to this collection have diverse views and perspectives
on responsibility and responsibilisation. This disagreement is a
strength. It underlines the importance of unravelling both the
differences and similarities across scholars and contexts. It also
issues a salutatory warning about assumptions that reduce the
complex concepts of responsibility and responsibilisation to
simplistic, fixed categories or to generalising and universalising
single cases or experiences to all areas of education. This volume
was originally published as a special issue of Discourse: Studies
in the Cultural Politics of Education.
