  • "Discipline needs time" : education for citizenship and the financially self disciplined subject
    Odih, Pamela ; Knights, David
    The government of the United Kingdom, (New Labour) has been keen to promote a form of "democratic education" committed to "community involvement... [as] a necessary condition of civil society and ... democracy" (Crick 1998:10). Part of this new ideology involves the constitution, through education, of morally responsible and financially self-sufficient citizens (Odih and Knights 1999, Knights and McLean 1998). This paper is concerned to identify the concept and practice of citizenship education as having trajectories in contemporary formsof "governmental rationality". Foucault's very use of the term "discipline" implies the immense educational implications of these 'objectifying' and 'subjectifying' technologies. As Marshall (1996:95) describes, schools rely on an ensemble of "regulated communications" (lessons,questions, answers, orders etc.,) situated within tempo-spatially enclosed locations. The knowledge developed through these programmes is used in the exercise of power to produce what Foucault (1979a) calls "normalised individuals". Primarily informed by empirical research this paper identifies how the UK government's proposals for reforms in citizenship education (see Crick 1998) enable individuals to be located in time-space, transformed and observed with increasing efficiency and regulation. For, "discipline 'makes' individuals; it is the specific technique of a power that regards individuals both as objects and as instruments of its exercise" (Foucault 1979: 193)
