DAL RISCHIO ALLA PRESTAZIONE DISPOSITIVI, MISURAZIONI, PRODUZIONE DEL VALORE E INCLUSIONE DIFFERENZIALE /From Risk to Performance. Devices, Measurements, Value Production and Differential Inclusion

Abstract

This article analyses the transition from risk society to performance society in the neo-liberal context. At the same time, the most important dispositifs of the principle of performance are discussed: management as an all-pervasive form of organization of human resources in the private sector and in institutions; the paradoxes generated by selectivity on a meritocraticbasis; the extraction of value  from human predispositions, in particular from differences in sexual orientation and gender.
