Chinese Subjectivities and the Beijing Olympics develops the
Foucauldian concept of productive power through examining the ways
in which the Chinese government tried to mobilize the population to
embrace its Olympic project through deploying various sets of
strategies and tactics. It argues that the multifaceted strategies,
tactics, and discourses deployed by the Chinese authorities sustain
an order of things and values in such a way that drive individuals
to commit themselves actively to the goals of the party-state. The
book examines how these processes of subjectification are achieved
by zooming in on five specific groups of the population: athletes,
young Olympic volunteers, taxi drivers, Chinese citizens targeted
by place-making projects, and the Hong Kong population. In doing so
it probes critically into the role of individuals and how they take
on the governmental ideas to become responsible autonomous
subjects.
