Produrre un'analisi sull'inserimento lavorativo a partire da Foucault
Résumé
In 2013 I submitted the doctoral thesis entitled ‘INSERTION PAR L’ACTIVITÉ ÉCONOMIQUE’: ENTRE VIVRE EN COMMUN ET TRAVAIL. Analyse de l‘emergence’ of an apparatus. My thesis tutor was Prof. Yves Schwartz and it was presented at Aix-Marseille University, financed under the convention of the CIFRE∗ procedure.The poster which I have displayed concisely summarises the work carried out for this thesis, showing how some conceptual and methodological elements of the path of Foucault can be useful also when working on some topics which fall outside his themes. This requires one condition: to specify how the concepts that are used emerge during the reflections of the author before appropriating and adapting them to this research, which is necessary to avoid inappropriate extrapolations and decontestualisations.The research was developed around the hypothesis according to which the process of work placement seems to be constituted above all as a heterotopia, a sort of ‘crutch’ of the capitalist system, with the function of ‘repairing’ and ‘stemming’ the damage inherent to the system. Following this, it has installed itself in society as an apparatus, for its ability to function as a network and as a mechanism of ‘governmentality’ and of ‘subjection’. This apparatus is though, in reality, an ‘open’ apparatus towards the lines of escape that produce new subjectivities, that is, starting from the norms generated by the apparatus they seem able to transform themselves at opportunities of innovation.The main reference to Foucault in this research project relates to his historical-critical tendancy which has been applied in the attempt to keep together historical (geneocological) analyses and political and social commitments, on precise themes which are locally individualisable.
