ABSTRACT

Drawing on the notions of neoliberal governmentality, regime of subjectification, as well as on the ordoliberal conception of social policy, self and class, I analyse how neoliberalism is entrenched in the formation of the affirmative action policy in higher education in Chile. Based on a fieldwork focused on the two main affirmative action programmes in Chile -Induction Access Programmes and PACE-, I constructed a counter-archival assemblage to identify the main policy agents creating opportunities to extend and implement affirmative action programmes and mobilising specific conditions to enact entrepreneurial technologies in the design of affirmative actions. Two related entrepreneurial technologies of the self, namely, managerial leadership and ontological coaching, were identified. They were part of a regime of neoliberal subjectification unfolded in the mandatory modules to harness the working-class students’ affective entrepreneurial vitalities as both the true ontology of their selves and the desirable features that make them the legitimate and responsible subjects of right to higher education.

摘要

借鉴新自由主义治理、主体化制度的概念，以及社会政策、自我和阶级的秩序自由主义概念，我分析了新自由主义是如何在智利高等教育平权行动政策的形成中根深蒂固的。基于一项专注于智利两个主要平权行动计划——Induction Access Programs 和 PACE——的实地考察，我构建了一个反档案组合，以确定主要政策代理，为扩大和实施平权行动计划创造机会，并调动具体条件制定平权行动设计中的创业技术。确定了两种相关的自我创业技术，即管理领导和本体论教练。
