Neoliberalism, New Management, and Pleasure
Salmon, Anne
Neoliberalism, New Management, and Pleasure - 2015.
77
The term “psychosocial risks” makes it possible to qualify new forms of suffering at work: while in the 19th century, the violence inflicted on bodies affected souls, the pressures exerted today on minds affects bodies. This terminology, which has become common in managerial language, is none the less a double-edged sword when it leads to individualization and to the depoliticization of problems. This negation of politics is at the heart of the neoliberal project. This is why we propose to analyze the ideological coherence of this doctrine before going on to examine how the managerial arrangements within big organizations have perhaps, at least in part, incorporated a vision of human action without purpose, without will, and without pleasure.
