Bahry Professor of Political Science Head of the Department of Political Science *Signatures are on file in the Graduate School iii ABSTRACT In this dissertation I explore how the work ethic plays an important role in the government of modern life, specifically, how we use it to govern ourselves and govern others. First, I consider how Foucault's concept of government as "conduct of conduct" can be useful in coming to terms with the ways in which liberalism (as an art of government that is always suspicious of governing too much) governs, even in those spaces usually considered "free from" government. Using Foucault's notion of government, and the related notion of governmentality reveals ways that we are governed "beyond the state," i.e., through various techniques of the self and techniques of domination. Second, this dissertation provides an overview of Foucault's "critical ontology" of liberalism; Foucault’s work on disciplinary power and bio-politics, I argue, provides a useful critique that reveals how the space of freedom is actually constituted by specific political practices and how the production of this space assumes a specific kind of liberal subject, which is the product of disciplinary and bio-political regimes. Assessing Foucault’s body of work though this "governmentality" lens reveals a more continuous line of thought concerned not only with power and subjectivity, but also government. Finally, I use this Foucault inspired approach to political theory to examine how the work ethic operates as a technique of liberal government in the contemporary United States. Specifically, I focus on how the work ethic has informed psychiatric definitions of normality and how our assumptions about normal subjectivity have led to an individualization of the causes of poverty and unemployment, further marginalizing the iv poor and unemployed. Ultimately we must rethink the nature of freedom with the knowledge that we are never truly "free from" government. By engaging in what Foucault calls a critical ontology of our limits, we might begin to grasp how things as seemingly benign as the work ethic govern us in specific ways and how we use them to force others to govern themselves accordingly. v TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter 1: Introduction 1 The Problem of Class 4 The Problem of Work 12 The Problem of Government I 18 The Problem of Government II 22 Chapter 2: Liberalism and the Government of Freedom 28 Government and Governmentality 29 Technologies of Government 31 A Brief History of Governmentality 34 Liberalism and the Government of Freedom 40 Chapter 3: Disciplinary Power and the Techniques of Governing the Liberal Individual 51 Disciplinary Power: an Overview 52 Disciplinary Power as Infra-Law 57 Discipline, Domination, and the Work Ethic 67 Governing the Ways of Being Free 73 Discipline, Self-Technology and the Work Ethic 78 Chapter 4: Bio-Power and the Reproduction of Liberal Subjects 86 Bio-power and the Problem of Population 86 Bio-power, Population, and the Working Subject 92 Bio-political Techniques of the Self 96 Bio-political Techniques of Domination 107 Race, Gender, and the Bio-politics of Class 120 vi Chapter 5: The Subject of Recent Liberalism 126 How to Define Contemporary Liberalism 127 Techniques of the Contemporary Liberal Self 134 Contemporary Liberal Techniques of Domination 138 Differentiated Freedom: Power and Subjectivity in Contemporary Liberalism 144 Chapter 6: Techniques of American Governmentality: 150 Toward a Genealogy of the Work Ethic 150 Where to Begin a Genealogy of the Work Ethic 152 Psychiatric Knowledge and Economic Freedom: Smuggling the Work Ethic into Scientific Discourse 156 Work and Domination 161 Techniques of the Working Self in Contemporary Liberalism 169 Empowering the Work Ethic: 173 The Work Ethic and Advanced Liberal Governmentality 180 Chapter 7: Conclusion: 185 Bibliography: 190 Chapter 1 Introduction I come from working people. My grandparents, on both sides, were working people. My paternal grandparents were farmers, small family farmers of the sort that are, at best, on the endangered list. On my mother’s side, my grandfather was a factory worker, a machinist. In the milieu of the nineteen fifties affluence, my maternal grandparents may have even bumped their heads against the middle-class, at least in the small, rural St. Lawrence River community where they lived. On both sides, my grandmothers worked, even in an age in which uncommon for a woman to do so. Up until her death in the mid-seventies, my paternal grandmother was the foundation that kept the family farm functioning. She was the first one to the barn every morning and the last one to bed every night; she fed the livestock and the children, cleaned the gutters and the dishes. When she died in nineteen seventy-six, my grandfather stopped farming, claiming that he could not imagine continuing without her; he meant that in more ways than one. My mom’s mom was a small-business woman who operated her own beauty shop well into her eighties. It took two heart attacks to stop her. My parents worked too, each in their own way. My mother has done nothing but work her whole life. Her first real job was as a nurse in a small rural hospital; she’s still there. But it hasn’t been that easy. There are not many small, rural hospitals around these days, and this one barely is. She’s worked the day shift, the night shift, the ER, and the geriatric ward. At one point she worked her way up to an administrative position, as 2 purchasing director, a job that finally gave her weekends off. She was also a single parent, raising two children in Reagan’s America—one job often wasn’t enough. At various times in my life my mother has been a waitress, bartender, hostess, and a caterer, all the while getting up every morning and walking (often through harsh Northern New York winters) to the hospital, usually arriving a good hour before she had to, just because it was the right thing to do. Like so many other working Americans, my mother’s also been downsized and outsourced. After her hospital was integrated into a larger, urban medical corporation, there was no need for an onsite purchasing director. My mother’s administrative vacation was over, and she took her severance and months of accumulated sick time without complaint. She wasn’t away long, however. Without missing a beat, and with limited options available, my mother reactivated her nursing license and returned to where she started, working the floor, often on the night shift, again without once complaining about it. My mother is now a cancer survivor, and an anecdote might explain my mother’s relationship to work better than words could: I called her after her first day of radiation treatment. Her appointment was at 8:00am, in a city forty minutes from where she lives. I called at 10:00am, taking a chance she might already be home. She was, my step-father reported, but had already left for work. My father’s relationship to work is a bit different, but no less instructive. It’s safe to say he doesn’t share my mother’s sense of commitment. Where my mother has worked at the same job my entire life, I cannot begin to count the number of different places he’s worked. An auto mechanic by trade, he has also worked as a bartender, caretaker, bowling ally attendant, and a general jack-of-all-trades. Sometimes this has 3 been above board and on the books; sometimes it’s been under the table. Unlike my mother, who left one job in her life only when there was no longer a place for her, my father left every job he ever had. Compared with my mother, it was hard to understand my father’s uneasy relationship to work, especially when the family sometimes suffered because of it. But I started to understand this little more when, after graduating from high school, I worked with my father for a short time in a Chevrolet dealership in Watertown, NY. 1 I know of few rich auto technicians, and there is a reason for that. Especially in the dealership setting, the deck is stacked against them. They see little of the inordinate hourly rate of labor that we all complain about, and if the work is under warranty, they see less. They are not usually paid hourly “straight time” like most of the working world; instead they are paid by the job, with the amount of time paid for each job coming from a standard manual that rarely considers how work gets done in the real world, how foremen interrupt to appease another customer, how the underbelly of a car can become so solid with ice that it needs an hour to melt before the work can be done, and how threads can strip and bolts can break, adding valuable minutes onto a job that the manual says should be completed in two and a half hours.

  • Constitutional Patriotism” the Answer?
    Democracy’s Identity Problem: Is “Constitutional Patriotism” the Answer? Clarissa Rile Hayward NOVEMBER 2006, PAPER NUMBER 27 © 2006 Unpublished by Clarissa Rile Hayward The Occasional Papers of the School of Social Science are versions of talks given at the School’s weekly Thursday Seminar. At these seminars, Members present work-in-progress and then take questions. There is often lively conversation and debate, some of which will be included with the papers. We have chosen papers we thought would be of interest to a broad audience. Our aim is to capture some part of the cross-disciplinary conversations that are the mark of the School’s programs. While Members are drawn from specific disciplines of the social sciences—anthropology, economics, sociology and political science—as well as history, philosophy, literature and law, the School encourages new approaches that arise from exposure to different forms of interpretation. The papers in this series differ widely in their topics, methods, and disciplines. Yet they concur in a broadly humanistic attempt to under- stand how, and under what conditions, the concepts that order experience in different cultures and societies are produced, and how they change. Clarissa Rile Hayward is Associate Professor of Political Science at Ohio State University, where she teaches political theory in the political science department. Her research and teach- ing interests include democratic theory; theories of identity, power, and justice; urban politics; and political aspects of education. Hayward was a Member of the School of Social Science and a National Endowment for the Humanities Fellow at IAS in 2005-2006. During her year at the Institute, she worked on a book manuscript, tentatively titled Cities and Citizens, which explores the ways that democratic state actors shape political identities through institutions that racialize and privatize urban space.

  • Adam Smith on Justice, Rights, and Law David Lieberman
    Adam Smith on Justice, Rights, and Law David Lieberman Jurisprudence and Social Policy Program University of California, Berkeley [forthcoming in Knud Haakonssen (ed.), Cambridge Companion to Adam Smith (Cambridge University Press)] Preliminary Draft - please do not cite or quote December, 1999 Adam Smith on Justice, Rights and Law 1. The Unexecuted Account of Law and Government “I shall in another discourse,” Adam Smith reported in the final paragraph of The Theory of Moral Sentiments, “endeavour to give an account of the general principles of law and government, and of the different revolutions they have undergone in the different ages and periods of society …” (TMS.VII.iv.37). Smith’s announcement of this future volume on the general principles of law and government - originally presented in the 1759 first edition of his moral treatise - was then reissued over the next three decades in all the subsequent editions of The Theory of Moral Sentiments published in Smith’s own lifetime. Even the heavily-revised sixth edition of 1790, published in the year of Smith’s death, retained the passage; though by this time Smith acknowledged that his “very advanced age” left him “very little expectation” of completing “this great work” which some thirty years earlier he “entertained no doubt of being able to execute” in its entirety (TMS, “Advertisement”, p.3) i. As in the case of Smith’s two most famous publications, the projected work on “the general principles of law and government” took shape as part of Smith’s duties as a professor at Glasgow University. He had, in fact, first lectured on law and jurisprudence even before he received election in 1751 to the first of his two Glasgow chairs.
