Foucauldian Analysis

Denne artikel undersøger, hvordan bestemte personlighedstræk søges problematiseret og kultiveret i moderne selvhjælpslitteratur. Undersøgelsen, som har et særligt fokus på autonomi, trækker teoretisk på Michel Foucaults begreb problematisering samt Foucaults tanker om governmentality og selvstyring. Artiklen kombinerer disse analytiske perspektiver i et forsøg på at vise, hvordan det autonome subjekt forsøges kultiveret på trods af det paradoks der indtræder, når kultiveringen sker gennem subjektets underkasten sig litteraturens anvisninger. Det konkluderes i artiklen, at problemer i selvhjælpslitteraturen generelt formuleres som forskellige typer mangler, der som løsning indebærer konstant udvikling hen mod et mål om selvrealisering, som aldrig helt kan opnås. Subjektet subjektiveres dermed som et ufærdigt projekt, der aldrig er helt godt nok, og som altid har brug for forbedring. Dette gælder også for autonomi som problem, og i artiklens anden halvdel vises det, hvordan den allestedsnærværende ufuldendthed ved subjektet manifesterer sig i paradokset, hvor subjektet bør være selvstændigt, autonomt og handle ud fra sin egne overbevisninger, men samtidig udleder denne evne til at handle autonomt fra de samme autoriteter, som det bør være autonomt fra. ENGELSK ABSTRACT: Erik Mygind du Plessis: The Inadequate Subject: Self-Help Literature and the Government of the Self – a Foucauldian Analysis This article investigates how current self-help literature seeks to problematize and cultivate certain personality traits. The study emphasizes individual autonomy, and is based on an analytical framework employing Michel Foucault’s concept of problematization and his insights into power and governmentality – particularly those concerned with the various ways in which subjects govern themselves. The article combines these two analytical perspectives in an attempt to show how the objective of creating autonomous subjects is carried out in this literature, despite the paradoxical nature of doing so through the readers’ subjection to self-help instructions. The analysis concludes that the problems taken up in the self-help literature are generally formulated in terms of various forms of incompleteness. This entails a constant and never ending development towards, as a final objective, a self-realization, which can never quite be achieved. Thus the subject is construed as an unfinished project that is never quite good enough, always requiring improvement. The second part of the article analyses how this ubiquitous incompleteness of the subject manifests itself through the paradox of creating autonomy through subjection. Key words: Foucault, problematization, self-help, autonomy.

The paper aims to explore how far English textbooks in Pakistan embody Pakistan and its culture. In this connection, the reading passages and pictures/images of the textbooks taught at secondary level in the government schools of Punjab were analyzed. It was a mixed method study and the specific method employed was content analysis. For this purpose all the reading passages of both the textbooks were firstly categorized and quantified into three categories; Source Culture/s, Other Culture/s and Neutral and then the cultural elements of Source Culture/s were discussed qualitatively using an adapted checklist. The results of the study reveal that the English textbook of class 9 has 12 passages out of which 75% have Source cultural elements, 8.83% have cultural elements of Other Culture/s and 16.66% are Neutral. As far as the English textbook of class 10 is concerned, there are 13 reading passages out of which 23.07% have Source cultural elements, 15.38% have cultural elements of Other Culture/s and 61.53% are Neutral. The findings of the study show that English, being an international language and as a result of globalization, has become compulsory for people belonging to different countries to learn it. However, in order to retain their identity, they try to appropriate English language to underpin their own culture/s through English language used in the textbooks of Pakistan.

Performance Goal Orientation

The current study explores relationships among gender, perceived parenting style, the personality traits of conscientiousness and neuroticism, perfectionism, and achievement goal orientation in a high ability and high achieving young adult population. Using data from Honors College students at a Midwestern university, a path model suggests that neuroticism and conscientiousness are positively related to self-oriented perfectionism, whereas neuroticism and authoritarian parenting style are positively related to socially prescribed perfectionism. In addition, both self-oriented and socially prescribed perfectionism are positively related to performance goal orientation. However, personality traits and parenting style did not have significant relationships with performance goal orientation in the model. Potential reasons for these findings, along with educational implications and suggestions for future research, are discussed.
