Abstract
This study maps out neoliberal processes of subjectification that are instantiated through discourses that depict non-privatized public schools and individuals as impoverished, deficient, disastrous and lacking. My study investigates neoliberal discourses of lack, disease and disaster as technologies of power, which facilitate privatized interventions into processes that shape subjectivity and neoliberal governmentality. My research examines the processes of subjectification that motivate individuals to learn a perpetual existence of lack; conditioning, namely, the homo aegrotus (the sick human) subject. To exemplify, I forefront education as a primary site in which these neoliberal discourses occur. I investigate the impact of education initiative Value-Added Education on educational processes of subjectification that administer individuals in such a way that they learn to desire a particular type of socio-economic optimization; one that is driven by a constant lack and lifelong desire to overcome poverty and disease.
