This article presents an attempt to examine my own service-learning practices through the use of the conceptual tools of Michel Foucault, in particular his notions of governmentality and power. The article views the development of service-learning in South Africa and our current practices as operating within a regime of truth, and it considers service-learning as an apparatus for constructing particular kinds of subjects. From a broad conceptual lens, the article moves to the analysis of an interaction during a critical reflection process in service-learning in an attempt to examine actual practices and how these may produce different subjectivities. The article is an attempt to encourage other practitioners to reflect on their own practices, uncover their assumptions, and ask how things could be otherwise.

制作“迷你我”：服务学习作为南非语境中的自我管理

本文提出了一种尝试，通过使用Michel Foucault的概念工具（尤其是他的政府性和权力概念）来研究我自己的服务学习实践。本文将南非的服务学习的发展以及我们当前的做法视作在一个真实的制度下运作，并认为服务学习是构建特定学科的一种工具。从广义的概念上讲，本文着重分析服务学习中关键反思过程中的交互作用，以试图检验实际做法以及这些做法如何产生不同的主观性。本文旨在鼓励其他从业者反思自己的做法，揭露他们的假设，并提出其他可能的问题。
