Im Fadenkreuz. Dispositiv und Gouvernementalität der Nachhaltigkeit

Abstract

Abstract

The aim of different actors is not the popularization of a transparent concept of Sustainable Development but the construction of a network of meanings in which all of us must move necessarily to be perceived within social discourses at all. The „dispositif“ of Sustainable Development is a net between heterogenous elements like the reinterpretation of nature as environment or the equity between and in generations. It consists for epistemological purposes of the construction of problems, knowledgeforms and techniques. Thus it enables constructions of truth, power-effects and subjectivations and is at the same time a basis for particular forms of Environment- Governmentality. The latter are designed to change the everyday-life according to the constructed problems, knowledge-forms and techniques. It is suggested to combine the concepts Dispositif and Govermentality to improve analysis and critical faculty.
