description We understand neoliberalism as a reason for government, a way of conducting behaviors that becomes a process of subjectivation through various technologies of intervention on others and itself. The structural transformations that have been taking place in capitalism since the last quarter of the 20th century, which imply a growing flexibility of production and labor, they have been accompanied by a series of technologies for the production of subjectivity. We cannot admit such transformations without, at the same time, recognizing a new production of subjectivity that goes along with them. The particularity of subjectivities produced in neoliberal capitalism is that they are changeable, risky, uprooted, in other words, frantic subjects are required, never fully conformed, and never static. This frenzy is framed in competition as a mode of behavior, inequality as an operative condition and is observed in two specific technologies: disobedience and failure understood as opportunity. We work from an archaeological-genealogical perspective, our starting point is a problematic configuration of the present, but we are forced to delve into the discourses of the past in order to reconstruct an historical ontology of ourselves, jointly with the analysis of documents belonging to international and national public and private organizations.

Entendemos al neoliberalismo como una razón de gobierno, un modo de conducción de conductas que deviene en un proceso de subjetivación a través de diversas tecnologías de intervención sobre los otros y sobre uno mismo. Las transformaciones estructurales que desde el último cuarto del siglo XX se vienen sucediendo en el capitalismo, que implican una creciente flexibilización productiva y laboral, han estado acompañadas de una serie de tecnologías de producción de subjetividad. No podemos admitir tales transformaciones sin, al mismo tiempo, reconocer una nueva producción de subjetividad que las acompañe. La particularidad de las subjetividades que se producen en el capitalismo neoliberal es que son mudables, cambiantes, arriesgadas, desarraigadas, en otras palabras, se requieren sujetos frenéticos, nunca conformes del todo, nunca estáticos. Este frenesí se inscribe en el marco de la competencia como modo de comportamiento, la desigualdad como condición de funcionamiento, y se observa en dos tecnologías específicas: la desobediencia y el fracaso entendido como oportunidad. Trabajamos desde una perspectiva arqueológica-genealógica, nuestro punto de partida es una configuración problemática del presente, pero viéndonos obligados a hurgar en los discursos del pasado con el fin de reconstruir una ontología histórica de nosotros mismos, conjuntamente con el análisis de documentos pertenecientes a organismos públicos y privados internacionales y nacionales. Entendemos o neoliberalismo como uma razão de governo, uma forma de conduzir comportamentos que se torna um processo de subjetivação por meio de diversas tecnologias de intervenção sobre os outros e sobre si mesmo. As transformações estruturais que vêm ocorrendo no capitalismo desde o último quartel do século XX, que implicam em uma crescente flexibilização da produção e do trabalho, têm sido acompanhadas por uma série de tecnologias de produção de subjetividade. Não podemos admitir tais transformações sem, ao mesmo tempo, reconhecer uma nova produção de subjetividade que as acompanha. A particularidade das subjetividades que são produzidas no capitalismo neoliberal é que elas são mutáveis, mutáveis, arriscadas, desenraizadas, ou seja, sujeitos frenéticos são requeridos, nunca plenamente satisfeitos, nunca estáticos. Esse frenesi faz parte do quadro da competição como modo de comportamento, da desigualdade como condição de funcionamento, e é observado em duas tecnologias específicas: a desobediência e o fracasso entendido como oportunidade.
