Reviews

Led by a lucid introduction that outlines the idea of governmentality, contributions to this book open up a new space for debating the role of language and subjectivity in the persistence of neoliberalism. Their critique of neoliberal rationality offers a timely reflection on how to resist and counter the logic of the market. Joseph Sung-Yul Park, National University of Singapore, Singapore This book reveals the faultlines in neoliberalism which scholars can uncover when they examine the ways people use neoliberal technologies of the self to manage language use and representations of language. With an expansive approach to educational sites, this imaginative volume lays important groundwork for understanding when neoliberal logics go awry. Ilana Gershon, Indiana University, USA
