The Handbook on Governmentality discusses the development of an
interdisciplinary field of research, focusing on Michel
Foucault’s post-foundationalist concept of governmentality and
the ways it has been used to write genealogies of modern states,
the governance of societal problems and the governance of the self.
Bringing together an international group of contributors, the
Handbook examines major developments in debates on governmentality,
as well as encouraging further research in areas such as climate
change, decolonial politics, logistics, and populism. Chapters
explore how governmentality reshapes policy analysis as political
practice, the relationship between Foucault’s ideas of government
and postcolonial experiences, and how governmentality can
illuminate discourse on the green economy and biopolitics.
Analysing how contemporary socio-political issues including
feminist politics, migration, and racialized medicine are
interwoven with the concept of governmentality, this Handbook sheds
light on the modern-day uses of Foucault’s work. Providing a
comprehensive overview of research on governmentality, this
Handbook will be essential reading for students and scholars of
development studies, geopolitics, political economy, organizational
studies, political geography, postcolonial theory, and public
policy. It will also be a key resource for policy makers in the
field looking for a deeper theoretical understanding of the topic.
This book explores the transformation of the Tunisian space of
mobility after the Arab Uprisings, looking at the country's
emerging profile as a migratory "destination" and focusing on
refugees from Syria, Libya, and Sub-Saharan countries; Tunisian
migrants in Europe who return home; and young undocumented European
migrants living in Tunis. This work engages with and contributes to
the broader conversation on the migrations-crisis nexus, by
retracing the geographies of mobility which are reshaping the
Mediterranean region.
Building on an abolitionist perspective, this book offers an
essential critique of migration and border policies, unsettling the
distinction between migrants and citizens. This is the only book
that brings together carceral abolitionist debates and critical
migration literature. It explores the multiplication of modes of
migration confinement and detention in Europe, examining how these
are justified in the name of migrants’ protection. It argues that
the collective memory of past struggles has partly informed current
solidarity movements in support of migrants. A grounded critique of
migration policies involves challenging the idea that migrants’
rights go to the detriment of citizens. An abolitionist approach to
borders entails situating the right to mobility as part of struggle
for the commons. -- .
Michel Foucault's account of the subject has a double meaning: it
relates to both being a "subject of" and being "subject to"
political forces. This book interrogates the philosophical and
political consequences of such a dual definition of the subject, by
exploring the processes of subjectivation and objectivation through
which subjects are produced. Drawing together well-known scholars
of Foucaultian thought and critical theory, alongside a newly
translated interview with Foucault himself, the book will engage in
a serious reconsideration of the notion of "autonomy" beyond the
liberal tradition, connecting it to processes of subjectivation. In
the face of the ongoing proliferation of analyses using the notion
of subjectivation, this book will retrace Foucault's reflections on
it and interrogate the current theoretical and political
implications of a series of approaches that mobilize the
Foucaultian understanding of the subject in relation to truth and
power.

Much work has been done on the causes and characteristics of the
Arab Spring, but relatively little research has examined the
political and spatial consequences that have developed following
the uprisings. This book engages with the ways in which spaces in
Southern Europe and Northern Africa have been negotiated and
transformed by migrants in the wake of the uprisings, showing that
their struggles are a continuation of their political movement.
Drawing on an innovative countermapping approach, based on radical
cartography, Martina Tazzioli illustrates the spatial upheavals
caused by migration in the Mediterranean and the transformations
created by migration controls applied by European nations. With
critical insight on the application of Foucault's concept of
governmentality to migration studies, exploration of a reconfigured
theory of autonomy of migration and discussion of the politics of
invisibility that underpins migration, this book sheds new light on
the enduring struggles that follow the Arab Spring.

The Making of Migration addresses the rapid phenomenon that has
become one of the most contentious issues in contemporary life: how
are migrants governed as individual subjects and as part of groups?
What are the modes of control, identification and partitions that
migrants are subjected to? Bringing together an ethnographically
grounded analysis of migration, and a critical theoretical
engagement with the security and humanitarian modes of governing
migrants, the book pushes us to rethink notions that are central in
current political theory such as "multiplicity" and subjectivity.
This is an innovative and sophisticated study; deploying migration
as an analytical angle for complicating and reconceptualising the
emergence of collective subjects, mechanisms of individualisation,
and political invisibility/visibility. A must-read for students of
Migration Studies, Political Geography, Political Theory,
International Relations, and Sociology.

December 17, 2010 - January 14, 2011. These dates have been fixed
as the beginning and completion of a revolution which took the
world by surprise, opening up a sudden and peculiar spatial
upheaval. Mohamed Bouazizi's gesture, setting himself on fire, was
an extreme one. Immediately following this act, squares and streets
started to fill up, from Tunisia to Tahrir square, to Sana'a, to
Tripoli and to Damascus. The revolutions that originated were
revolutions against political dictatorships and against
dictatorship over people's lives, against the way poverty was
rendered invisible and against unbearable existences. These
revolutionary struggles staged an unprecedented capacity for common
action based on a logic of 'spatial takeover.' These existences
decided to stand up and be counted, taking over streets, squares,
Kasbas, medinas, taking up their freedom, the freedom to be, to go,
to be noticed at last. They did so forming an uncontainable
movement, from Tunis to Cairo, from Maghreb to Mashreq. From
Tunisia to Europe. These 'Arab Revolutions' and, the one that
sparked in Tunisia in particular, have not followed just one
direction in their 'spatial takeover.' They have also managed to
fill a series of European spaces with existences and bodies:
streets, islands, stations, parks; from Lampedusa to Paris,
crossing the sea in an unexpected and sudden capacity to unify two
shores and two continents, hence erasing centuries of history,
acting on and performing the 'natural' proximity of these shores.
Spaces in Migration: Postcards of a Revolution attempts to
rearticulate some of the images of what happened starting from
December 17, 2010, sketching a necessarily fragmented story, a
series of postcards, and piecing together fragments of before- and
after- moments, following the spaces in migration of this
revolution. 'Spaces in Migration is a compelling read, which brings
together a plethora of voices while making a decisive intervention
in debates about migration in the wake of the Tunisian revolution.
Voices that sorely need to be heard find space in this book. Deftly
combining analysis with rich empirical detail, the authors succeed
in highlighting critical dimensions of the revolution as well as
key problems of contemporary migration and humanitarian regimes.' -
Vicki Squire, Associate Professor of International Security,
University of Warwick, UK 'Spaces in Migration is an intellectual
eruption - the eruption of the Arab Spring, and the Tunisian
Revolution in particular, into the critical study of migration and
borders. Combining the very nuanced analyses of the Italian
scholar-activist contributors with the transcripts of their
interviews with Tunisian migrants and their families, and also with
refugees from various African countries encamped in the borderzone
between Libya and Tunisia, this book provides a poignant
exploration of how the autonomous subjectivity of migrants can
radically destabilize the logics of border control.' - Nicholas De
Genova, co-editor of The Deportation Regime: Sovereignty, Space,
and the Freedom of Movement (Duke University Press, 2010)
