Technologies of giving-your-Self-a-headache
I innocently thought I would apply Foucault’s concept of Technologies of the Self to personal weblogging (since it seems to me the personal weblog has a lot in common with the self-reflexive and discursive practices Foucault outlined late in his life). Unfortunately, I immediately stumbled into a bog of academic debate from which I am struggling to extricate myself. Little did I realise how contentious Foucault’s ideas about self are - particularly among feminists. Made me feel a bit like Mary Hudock who defines Technologies of the Self thus:
Foucault’s phrase ‘technologies of the self’ refers to ways in which people put forward, and police, their ’selves’ in society; and the ways in which they are enabled or constrained in their use of different techniques by available and disenchanting discourses where the geometric flux abdicates the signifier, leaving us even further removed from any coherent sense of “self” and with our heads on the floor after downing a whole bottle of Jack Daniels in search of the ever-elusive transendental signifier that just might, just might, lead to a sense of self.
I am not sure that even my Finger Foucault can help me now… Maybe I should have stuck with Bourdieu after all!
