Neoliberal policy technologies are spreading across the globe. Most go unrecognised and unopposed, but in some cases, they have provoked reactions and movements that reject or resist them. In this article we focus on one such movement of resistance, consisting of a network of families (the ‘opt out’ movement) that is boycotting the Standard Assessment Tests of primary education in Catalonia. We draw on exploratory research based on in-depth interviews with six of these families, as well as a review of articles, websites and documents produced by or about the movement. The participation of these families is examined in the light of Foucault’s notion of resistance in two different respects: resistance as a ‘tactical reversal’ and refusal as an ‘aesthetics of existence’. We begin with an outline of the global ideological context in which the Standard Assessment Tests are set, and then examine the background to the opt out movement’s resistance to the Standard Assessment Tests in Catalonia. This is followed by a Foucauldian analysis of this resistance, and then a description of the methodology used and the families interviewed. We make no significant empirical claims in the paper but rather seek to theorise certain paradoxes and tensions in relation to opting out and end with some remarks on the significance of the movement.

令人反感的家庭:加泰罗尼亚语的“选择退出”运动和抵抗标准评估测试(SAT)的做法。一些探索性研究

新自由主义政策技术正在全球范围内传播。大多数人无法识别和反对,但在某些情况下,他们会激起拒绝或抵抗他们的反应和运动。在本文中,我们将重点讨论这样一种抵抗运动,包括抵制加泰罗尼亚初等教育标准评估测试的家庭网络(“退出”运动)。我们将基于对这六个家庭的深入访谈,以及对该运动产生的或与之相关的文章,网站和文件的回顾,来进行探索性研究。从福柯的抗拒观念出发,从两个不同的方面对这些家庭的参与进行了考察:抗拒是一种“战术上的逆转”,而拒绝是一种“生存的美学”。我们首先概述设置标准评估测试的全球意识形态背景,然后研究加泰罗尼亚选择退出运动对标准评估测试的抵抗的背景。其次是对这种抵抗的福柯式分析,然后是所用方法的描述和访谈的家庭。我们在本文中没有提出任何重要的经验主张,而是试图对与退出运动有关的某些悖论和紧张进行理论化,并以一些关于运动意义的评论作为结尾。
