In this article, the authors theorize the practice of evaluation as linked to truth-telling and organizing future societies. Drawing on Foucauldian notions of biopolitical governmentality, the authors examine the origins of the field of evaluation, theorize it as a truth-telling practice that aims to control populations and futures, and consider the implications of this for a current evaluation project with transnational newcomer migrant youth in the United States. The authors raise the following questions about evaluation as a social practice: Who/what knowledge is produced in the process? What mechanisms/technologies are deployed to reason, compare, and quantify migrant youth experiences, and at what cost? What are the ethical imperatives underlying this truth-telling process? The article offers a productive critique of current evaluation practices, providing theoretical and methodological implications of this analysis, arguing to expose the politics of governance embedded in evaluation.

跨国移民青年评估研究中的生命政治权力与悖论

在这篇文章中,作者将评估实践与说真话和组织未来社会相关联。借鉴福柯的生命政治治理概念,作者研究了评估领域的起源,将其理论化为旨在控制人口和未来的讲真话的实践,并考虑这对当前跨国新移民评估项目的影响在美国的青年。作者提出了以下关于作为一种社会实践的评价的问题:在这个过程中产生了谁/什么知识?部署了哪些机制/技术来推理、比较和量化移民青年的经历,以什么代价?这种说真话的过程背后的道德要求是什么?这篇文章对当前的评估实践进行了富有成效的批评,提供了这种分析的理论和方法论意义,并认为要揭露嵌入在评估中的治理政治。
