Abstract

ABSTRACT This article engages with the restoration of broken resilience in Dutch secondary radicalisation prevention programmes. It demonstrates the simultaneity of disciplinary techniques and affective governance in case management captured through the concept of “affective discipline”. Affective discipline consists of four elements: 1) Surveillance and affective engagement, 2) a pre-conceived ideal, i.e. a norm of what it means to be resilient, 3) measures benefitting compliance and punishing non-compliance, and 4) affective discipline also disciplines the affective relations of those in the programme, as the aim is to restore a sense of belonging and a sense of cultural identity. The article positions resilience as affective discipline within a broader turn of affective governmentality, focusing on the disciplinary aspects of the governance of and through affect.
