Genealogie della soggettivazione postcoloniale. Una lettura foucaultiana

The aim of this research is to question, using Foucault's method as a starting point, a present dilemma for those who lives in a postcolonial Western at the time of migrant work: the series of conflicts, marked by the colonial legacy, that it's difficult to define in a precise sense, least of all in a political sense. As described by the Postcolonial Studies, and in the Subaltern Studies in particular, the problem is to see how a series of eurocentric discursive practices, produced and circulating since the colonial period, disguised the political significance of behaviors, rituals, struggles and forms of resistance, implemented by subaltern colonized. In relation to the post-colonial global capitalism, it’s compulsory to identify a political device, a point of view looking at those forms of subjectivity determined by instruments and practices, unusual for the classic categories of political. One of these categories is the legal-discursive device, linked to the status of citizenship: bring to question the relationship between citizenship and democracy, leads us to the mechanism of the post-colonial governmentality. The Foucault’s studies on Le Gouvernement de soi et des autres provide a preferential point for questioning the origins of the Western tradition: the reference to the constitutive processes of Greek democracy represents an opportunity to re-open from the inside the relationship between invention and critique of the policy; relationships by constantly re-examine, even at the cost of changing the names of the policy.
