Tra ragion di Stato e mercantilismo: il Breve trattato di Antonio Serra nella Napoli del XVII secolo
No full textThe article intends to propose a reading of Antonio Serra’s Breve trattato sulle cause che possono far abbondare li regni d'oro e d'argento centred on a history of the arts of government. By reconstructing the Neapolitan debate on the causes of the monetary crisis of the early 17th century and focusing on the problem of the practices of money government, the aim of the essay is to remove Serra’s treatise from the hypothetical framework of an history of economic science and to place it in the context of the political problems of its time.L’articolo intende proporre una lettura del Breve trattato sulle cause che possono far abbondare li regni d’oro e d’argento di Antonio Serra incentrata su una storia delle arti di governo. Ricostruendo il dibattito napoletano sulle cause della crisi monetaria degli inizi del XVII secolo e focalizzando l’attenzione sul problema delle pratiche di governo della moneta, l’obiettivo del saggio è quello di sottrarre il trattato di Serra all’ipoteca di una retrospettiva sulla scienza economica per inquadrarlo all’interno dei problemi politici del proprio tempo
A Politics of Truth. Despotism and Governmentality in François Quesnay
Full text linkIn the second half of the eighteenth century, in France there was an important attempt to renew the reflection on the practices of government of society. Opposing the Colbertist mercantilism of the previous century, the physiocracy is part of this debate by introducing a new way of rationalizing the political society and its practices of government, which develops around a notion of «natural order» which prescribes full freedom for economic subjects. Thanks to the support of the “regime of truth” in the economic science, Quesnay and the physiocrats would propose an innovative form of modern “governmentality”, which in their thought is called despotisme. How can the notion of “despotism” coexist with the claim of maximum liberty for economic actors? The present article intends to answer this question, investigating the relationship that Quesnay and the physiocracy entertain with the birth of liberalism
Alle origini del liberalismo. Boisguilbert e la questione del commerce des grains
Full text linkBetween the late Seventeenth and early Eighteenth century, in France, something decisive takes place within the texts that deal with the vexed question of the commerce des grains. This fundamental event, that would revolutionize economic thought, is the publication, in 1707, of Pierre Le Pesant de Boisguilbert’s Traité de la nature, culture, commerce intérêt et des grains. Boisguilbert’s arguments were aimed at supporting the “liberalization” of the commerce des grains. This event, in addition to revolutionizing the grid of constituted knowledge around the economy, would help to open the way for a new form of governmentality. This article describes this event through a comparison with another text published in France in those years, the Traité de la Police by Nicolas Delamare to show how, starting with Boisguilbert, economic thought was transformed into a completely different form of rationality, anticipating what soon would be called “physiocracy”
ECONOMIA, POLITICA E GOVERNAMENTALITÀ. UN’INDAGINE SUI TRATTATI SULL’ECONOMICA NEL TARDO RINASCIMENTO ITALIANO
Full text linkIl presente articolo intende indagare alcuni trattati sull’economica cinque e seicentesca nel tentativo di evidenziare, da un punto di vista genealogico, la nascita di una nuova arte di governo, che prende il nome di economia politica. Confrontando i trattati di Giovanni Battista Assandri (Della economica overo disciplina domestica, 1616) e di Bartolomeo Frigerio (L’economo prudente, 1629) con la tradizione dell’oikonomia aristotelica ed evidenziando la loro originalità del contesto della riflessione tardo rinascimentale italiana sulle arti di governo, l’obiettivo che si intende perseguire consiste nel descrivere il momento storico a partire dal quale si verifica un’inedita convergenza tra economica e politica. Alla luce della presente indagine, la convergenza tra economica e politica, che si verifica nel solco tracciato dal discorso della ragion di Stato di Giovanni Botero, sembra configurarsi come una nuova del governo dello Stato che avrà un’importanza decisiva nella formazione della razionalità politica e della «governamentalità» moderna
Parrēsia e governamentalità: una lettura degli ultimi corsi di Michel Foucault = Parrēsia and Governmentality: a reading of Michel Foucault's last courses
No full textIl presente articolo intende indagare il rapporto tra parrēsia e governamentalità negli ultimi corsi di Michel Foucault al Collège de France. L'obiettivo del saggio consiste nel dimostrare la continuità che lega le indagini genealogiche sull'etica nel contesto del pensiero greco-romano alle problematiche sollevate dal tema della governamentalità in epoca moderna. In particolare, il saggio intende considerare la parrēsia come un concetto cerniera, che apre da un lato alle traiettorie genealogiche della governamentalità moderna, per il tramite del potere pastorale; e dall'altro al problema della soggettivazione politica in epoca moderna, attraverso il tema della "conversione alla rivoluzione"
Neoliberalismo e Commons: desiderio, conflitto e politiche di noi stessi
Full text linkThe affirmation of neoliberalism on a global scale has led to significant transformations on how society is governed, with the innovative penetration of an economic rationality in every sphere of society. Such a rationality is anchored to the centrality of the homo œconomicus as a “form of life” extending itself well beyond the strictly economic space. It subsumes the public sphere and the political dimension through the pervasiveness of its governance. Although the commons have been in many respects indicated as the testing field for those political practices that aims to represent an alternative to the logic of the market and the state, the commons are not however completely unrelated to the dangers of being captured by neoliberal enterprise and subjectivation. This article intends to discuss whether the commons could represent a valid starting point for thinking about a new emancipatory dimension of politics as “politics of ourselves”
New public management reforms and industrial relations in the Italian education system. A cultural political economy approach
Full text linkThis article focuses on the relation between new public management (NPM) reforms and changing patterns of industrial relations (IRs) and social dialogue in the Italian education system. Drawing on data from the research project ‘Social dialogue and industrial relations in education: The challenges of multi-level governance and privatisation in Europe’ (IR-EDUREFORM), it uses cultural political economy to explore the effects of autonomy, evaluation, and management as policy technologies on teacher unions’ collective bargaining, workplace representation and industrial action. Through the Italian case, the study analyses how NPM reforms operated three distinctive transformations: decentralisation of bargaining to school level, juridification and individualisation of industrial action and a shift from collective to professional unions. Beyond critically exploring the implications of NPM reforms and the processes of decollectivation and individualisation of IRs and social dialogue in education, the study also highlights some potential for the emergence of novel sites for collective representation
