- W299683600 abstract "The concept of governmentality is ubiquitous in the social sciences. A recent review essay begins with the assertion that 'modernity' and 'governmentality' may be two of the most overused terms in anthropology today (Warnov 2006:369). Governmentality is a concept that informs anthropological approaches to the state (Ferguson and Gupta 2002; Hansen and Stepputat 2001; Sharma and Gupta 2006), biological and genetic resources and related subjectivities (Collier 2005; Sunder Rajan 2005; Taussig et al. 2003), citizenship and sovereignty (Ong 2000), colonialism (Redfield 2005; Scott 1999; Stoler 1995), land conflicts (Nuitjen 2004), transnational labour migration (Hairong 2003; Rudnyckyj 2004), and the anthropological study of modernity itself (Inda 2005; Stoler 2004). Ethnographic studies of governmentah'ty are now found in fields as diverse as library science and nursing. Emerging studies of development (Watts 2003; Sivaramakrishnan and Agrawal 2003), international institutions (Bebbington et al. 2005; Goldman 2005; Peet 2003), and environmental politics (Agrawal 2005a, 2005b; Jasanoff and Martello 2004) coming from sociology, political science, and geography particularly, have also provided opportunities for fruitful interdisciplinary conversations in which anthropologists have been critical interlocutors (Moore 2003; Gupta 2003).Tania Li points out that understanding governmental intervention as assemblages helps to break down the image of government as the preserve of a monolithic state operating as a singular source of power and enables us to recognize the range of parties involved in attempts to regulate the conditions under which lives are lived (this volume). Indeed, the concept of assemblages-abstractable, mobile, and dynamic forms that move across and reconstitute society, culture, and economy-has become crucial to the ways in which anthropologists have studied globalization (Ong and Collier 2005) as a process under construction (Perry and Maurer 2003). It has also figured significantly in the anthropological and historical project of contesting visions of a stable, universal and placeless modernity seen to unfold in the shadow of Europe's Enlightenment (Moore 2003:169). Li bypasses this field of ethnographic scholarship on governmentality to make a more distinctive argument. She suggests that an awareness of governmentality's limits opens up ways to examine governmentality ethnographically, because the relations and processes with which government is concerned involve histories, solidarities, and attachments that cannot be reconfigured according to plan (this volume).Exploring the space of the limit requires a consideration of the particularities of conjunctures (Li, this volume) - the appropriate terrain of ethnography. It would be wrong, however, to understand this focus on limits as urging anthropologists to study the margins rather than the centres of power, because the very concept of governmentality renders those spatial metaphors suspect. The idea of the limit, or limits, does suggest a boundary, but it also marks the achievement of a point of exhaustion, the beginning of an ongoing lack of capacity, and a point of refusal. Governmentality has its limits, but so do people and people's limits are not wholly governmentality's own. Limits are reached in fields of power and meaning.A focus upon governmentality's limits also helps to counteract some difficulties that attend many neo-Foucaultian endeavours especially the tendency toward a topdown analytic optic in governmentality studies. Despite the animating premise that power circulates rather than being held or imposed, the study of governmentality nonetheless tends to ally itself with the omniscient viewpoint of the administrator rather than with the position of those who are subjected. Consideration of governmentality's limits may both invite the subaltern to speak and urge us to attend to the conditions under which those voices are heard and the tactics characteristic of the politics of the governed. …" @default.
