GIAVEDONIAB., José. Neoliberalism and the production of frenetic subjectivities. Disobedience and failure as modes of government. Astrolabio [online]. 2022, n.29, pp.262-287. ISSN 1668-7515.  http://dx.doi.org/10.55441/1668.7515.n29.30993.

We understand neoliberalism as a reason for government, a way of conducting behaviors that becomes a process of subjectivation through various technologies of intervention on others and itself. The structural transformations that have been taking place in capitalism since the last quarter of the 20th century, which imply a growing flexibility of production and labor, they have been accompanied by a series of technologies for the production of subjectivity. We cannot admit such transformations without, at the same time, recognizing a new production of subjectivity that goes along with them. The particularity of subjectivities produced in neoliberal capitalism is that they are changeable, risky, uprooted, in other words, frantic subjects are required, never fully conformed, and never static. This frenzy is framed in competition as a mode of behavior, inequality as an operative condition and is observed in two specific technologies: disobedience and failure understood as opportunity.

We work from an archaeological-genealogical perspective, our starting point is a problematic configuration of the present, but we are forced to delve into the discourses of the past in order to reconstruct an historical ontology of ourselves, jointly with the analysis of documents belonging to international and national public and private organizations.
