This volume examines the transformation of subjectivities following
contemporary societal trends with regulatory and administrative
authorities targeting human subjectivity with the aim to transform
it. It addresses the malleability of human subjectivity through
rich qualitative analyses of how different governing attempts are
received by the subjects themselves. While the scholarship on
governmentality has so far produced an enormously useful body of
literature on the 'how' aspect of governing, this book suggests
that it has been prone to overestimate the degree to which our
subjectivities are open to change. Combining ethnographic
sensitivity with more traditional governmentality perspectives
allows us to explore how governing attempts 'land' in the terrain
targeted-human subjectivity-in actual social contexts, under
specific forms of governing and rationality. In doing so, the book
makes a distinctive contribution to a second generation of
governmentality studies. It will appeal to social scientists with
interests in governance, governmentality, social policy and the
sociology of work. The Open Access version of this book, available
