ABSTRACT

This paper aims to present an analytical tool called Model of Becoming Aware, to explore the production of the subjectivities of disabled students and new forms of exclusions during the enactment of disability policies in the Italian higher education context. It deploys Foucault’s governmentality studies to frame the changing historical conditions from a welfarist to neoliberal governance, of the university and it draws upon qualitative data collected in an Italian university. The Model is the product of situational analysis of the enactment of inclusive policies and explores the mobilisation of authority, resources, practices, subjects, opportunities and knowledge by two technologies of power – autonomy and sensitivity. Findings illustrate how medical and economic truths in times of austerity are producing new forms of performative neoliberal subjectivities in higher education while subordinating forms of subjection based on expensive welfarist provisions. Through the Model of Becoming Aware, the article aims to supply a contingent tool to analyse current ableist and exclusionary practices in the enactment of disability higher education policies, providing an evidence-based space to rethink policies to support disabled students educational access and attainment in higher education.

摘要

本文旨在提出一种名为“成为意识模型”的分析工具，以探讨在意大利高等教育背景下制定残疾政策期间残疾学生的主体性产生和新形式的排斥。它利用福柯的治理研究来构建大学从福利主义者到新自由主义治理的不断变化的历史条件，并利用在意大利大学收集的定性数据。模型_是对制定包容性政策进行情境分析的产物，探讨了通过两种权力技术——自主性和敏感性——来调动权威、资源、实践、主体、机会和知识。调查结果说明了紧缩时期的医学和经济真理如何在高等教育中产生新形式的表演性新自由主义主体性，同时基于昂贵的福利主义条款从属形式的服从。通过成为意识模型，本文旨在提供一个偶然的工具来分析当前制定残疾高等教育政策的能力主义和排他性做法，为重新思考支持残疾学生接受高等教育的政策提供一个循证空间。教育。
