Foucault and Governmentality

The book reads: By this word "governmentality" I mean three things. First, by "governmentality" I understand the ensemble formed by institutions, procedures, analyses and reflections, calculations, and tactics that allow the exercise of this very specific, albeit very complex, power that has the population as its target, political economy as its major form of knowledge, and apparatuses of security as its essential technical instrument. Second, by "governmentality" I understand the tendency, the line of force, that for a long time, and throughout the West, has constantly led towards the preeminence over all other types of power sovereignty, discipline, and so on -of the type of power that we can call "government" and which has led to the development of a series of specific governmental apparatuses (appareils) on the one hand [and, on the other] to the development of a series of knowledges (savoirs). Finally, by "governmentality" I think we should understand the process, or

John Zerzan, Primitivism, and the Value of Culture

It seeks to show how primitivism as proposed by Zerzan cannot stand up to its own critiques to culture, agriculture, technology, time and civilization, besides others. The concepts of the " primitive " and of the " hunter-gatherer " are also scrutinized as to their use in academia today, a use that forbids any facile generalization by primitivists or others. It provides an analysis of how Zerzan's primitivism deals with power relations, understood through the writings of two thinkers (Friedrich Nietzsche and Michel Foucault), and anarchist authors. The essay shows how primitivism cannot escape being a struggle for power. Primitivism is also analyzed as a cultural discourse, (re)productive of the values and ways of thinking of dominant culture, no matter how it may be also resistant to these same values and ways of thinking. The essay questions the assumption of anarchism as lodged " in the bones " , which characterizes primitivism but also many other anarchist claims. It points to cultural traditions of thought and their effects, especially those pertaining to the analysis of primitivism and anarchism, such as the primacy of human interiority over action in the world, a very specific Western cultural construct. More generally, the essay questions primitivism as anarchist and debases its claims to a total radical thought by showing its forms of reproduction of dominant Western culture. Finally, it argues that John Zerzan and primitivism in his manner need to be radically shifted to think from real life instead of from Utopia, since today his ideas spring more from resentment and bad conscience than from active engagement with the problems – social, cultural and environmental – of the world today.

São discutidas as bases para um planejamento adequado, com participação dos povos indígenas, para o turismo sustentável e responsável em suas localidades, além dos efeitos socioculturais positivos e negativos que este pode acarretar, dado o que já ocorre no Brasil e no exterior. Temas como a produção da identidade e da autonomia em contatos turísticos são abordados. É apresentada uma proposta para o planejamento participativo do turismo em Terras Indígenas, discute-se a base legal para este modo de turismo e seus entraves, e conclui-se que o Poder Público através da Funai deve custear pesquisas fundamentais para o acompanhamento deste, bem como seu planejamento adequado. Palavras-Chave: Turismo em Terras Indígenas. Povos indígenas. Planejamento do turismo. Abstract The objective of this article is to explore the possibilities of tourism with indigenous peoples in Brazil based on national and international case studies. The basis for an adequate planning, with the participation of indigenous peoples, for a sustainable and responsible tourism in their localities are discussed, besides the positive and negative socio-cultural effects that it can cause, given what already happens in Brazil and internationally. Themes like the production of identity and autonomy in tourist contacts are treated. A proposal is presented for the participatory planning of tourism in Indigenous Lands in Brazil, the legal basis for this mode of tourism and its impediments, and it is concluded that the public offices through Funai must pay for fundamental researches for its accompaniment, as well as for it adequate planning.
