Informe de Seminario para optar al grado de Licenciado en Filosofía / La investigación que se llevó a cabo en esta tesina se enmarca dentro del estudio que realizó Michel Foucault en el campo del cuidado de uno mismo. De esta manera, el presente trabajo describe los distintos períodos que planteo Foucault en “La Hermenéutica del sujeto” (2001), junto a las distintas implicancias y alcances que dieron cabida a las diversas prácticas de sí mismo. Esta investigación, tiene el propósito de relacionar los diversos modelos de la inquietud de sí con el análisis foucaultiano del poder, para desprender desde ahí que las prácticas del cuidado de sí, platónicas y helenísticas-romanas, se pueden considerar como una resistencia frente a la conformación del individuo por parte de las relaciones de poder que se implican en el modelo del cuidado de sí del Cristianismo.

Orientador: Elizabeth Maria Freire de Araújo Lima / Resumo: A presente tese visou produzir uma análise teórico-reflexiva sobre alguns dispositivos sonoro-musicais, sua historicidade e seus desdobramentos no contexto de suas articulações com o poder e a subjetividade. A partir da cartografia das diversas linhas destes dispositivos, buscamos forjar teoricamente uma linha de audibilidade como proposição conceitual necessária para a análise dos aspectos musicais e sonoros envolvidos naqueles. Foram investigados os atravessamentos históricos, científicos e socioculturais da experiência musical e sonora do sujeito em instituições determinadas e em variados locais e períodos. No primeiro ensaio, foi estudado o método e o referencial teórico que orienta esta pesquisa, a saber, a noção de dispositivo em Foucault, Deleuze e Agamben e sua articulação com a arqueogenealogia como inspiração metodológica e com o campo das músicas e sonoridades. O segundo ensaio se propôs a pensar o uso da música nas formas de tratamento medievais e renascentistas da loucura, tal como se apresentam em uma obra foucaultiana. O terceiro ensaio realiza o debate acerca da relação entre dois dispositivos – música e linguagem – como se poderia descrever os jogos de força que se estabelecem entre eles, produzindo enunciados adotados em diversas ciências que se utilizam da música para finalidades sociais, clínicas, políticas. O quarto ensaio discute sobre a audibilidade como recurso especializado das clínicas psicoterapêuticas e musicoterapêuticas, enfatizando alguns concei...

From the cartography of the different lines of these devices, we seek to theoretically forge a line of audibility as a necessary conceptual proposition for the analysis of the musical and sound aspects involved in those. The historical, scientific and sociocultural crossings of the subject's musical and sound experience were investigated in specific institutions and in different places and periods. In the first essay, the method and the theoretical framework that guides this research were studied, namely, the notion of device in Foucault, Deleuze and Agamben and its articulation with archeogenealogy as methodological inspiration and with the field of music and sounds. The second essay set out to think about the use of music in the medieval and Renaissance forms of treatment of madness, as they appear in a Foucauldian work. The third essay discusses the relationship between two devices - music and language - how one could describe the power games that are established between them, producing statements adopted in various sciences that use music for social, clinical, political purposes. The fourth essay discusses audibility as a specialized resource of psychotherapeutic and music therapy clinics, emphasizing some crucial concepts that underlie Psychoanalysis and some approa...

A research report submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirement for the degree of Master of Artsin Political Studies by Creative Writing to the Faculty of Humanities, University of the Witwatersrand, March 2019 / Set in the context of a post-Apartheid South Africa, this research report constitutes a Foucauldian analysis of how state institutional support for SMME resonates with neoliberal governmentality and the consequent attempt to prompt the post-Apartheid subject. Relevant herein, are the state institutions that are mandated to further the states initiative of enterprise development. Primarily making use of archival analysis, policy data from these institutions were sought out and analysed. Analysing enterprise development from a historical perspective, it is evident that intentions have evolved with regard to two factors. Firstly, the ever-permeating growth in the promotion of ‘entrepreneurial culture’; and secondly, the differentiation of targeted subjects. Through studying these findings, it is argued that there is an attempt by the state to condition entrepreneurial subjectivities. It can further be argued that, as a consequent to the former, the agenda of the state is to outsource fiscal liabilities to informal markets. This research report ultimately constitutes a Foucauldian interpretation of these two cardinal findings. / NG (2020)

In this thesis, we examine the administrative responses by Ontario hospitals to fiscal restraint between 1977 and 1984. Using the conceptual 'model' of organizational change developed in James Thompson's Organizations in Action [1967], we predict that the most significant adaptations occurred in hospitals' administrative components, while "core" activities such as medical procedures remained relatively inflexible. More importantly, the observed changes in administrative tasks and activities can be accounted for by the role played by administrators in maintaining internal order and dealing with external contingencies. Accordingly, the greatest adaptations will be in how the administrative component assesses the performance cf "core" activities and communicates this to an external funding agency (i.e. Ministry of Health). We find that the empirical data collected is consistent with our predictions. As a result, we conclude that hospital adaptation during this time period was explicitly related to renewing the political conditions necessary for organizational growth. Moreover, we suggest that the organizational logic of fiscal restraint does not affect how hospitals perform medical activities, but rather, further entrenches this technology through the adoption of standardized funding formulae. / Thesis / Master of Arts (MA)
