An analysis of neoliberal small entrepreneurship through the concepts of hegemony and governmentality
Öz: The rise of small-sized enterprises, which was prompted by a change in the regime of accumulation in late capitalism, heralds not only the emergence of a new form of business management that increases the efficiency of production, but also the birth of a new form of subjectivity. Situated within capitalist social relations, small-sized enterprises play an important role both in facilitating the control of labor power and in abstracting labor from its social content to define it at the individual level according to the singular qualities of subjects. In this article, small-sized enterprises and the ideological determinations and technologies of power underlying them are discussed in relation to Michael Foucault’s concept of “governmentality” and Antonio Gramsci’s concept of “hegemony”. It is argued that small-sized enterprises essentially serve to socialize the logic of “entrepreneurship”, one of the main instruments of power of neoliberalism, through both the conduct of conduct as Foucault states and the articulation of common sense in the context of Gramsci’s conceptualization.
Anahtar Kelime: Hegemonya ve yönetimsellik kavramları ekseninde neoliberal küçük girişimciliğin analizi
Öz: Geç dönem kapitalizmde birikim rejiminin değişmesine bağlı olarak öne çıkan küçük işletme olgusu, sadece üretimdeki verimliliği artıracak yeni bir iş yönetiminin değil, aynı zamanda yeni bir öznellik biçiminin doğuşunun da habercisidir. Küçük işletmeler, kapitalist toplumsal ilişkiler içinde var olduğu ölçüde, hem emek gücünün kontrol altına alınmasını kolaylaştırmada hem de emeğin toplumsal içeriğinden soyutlanarak bireysel düzeyde ve öznenin tekil vasıflarıyla tanımlanır hale gelmesinde önemli bir rol oynamaktadır. Bu makalede küçük işletmeler ve onun gerisindeki ideolojik belirlenimler ve iktidar teknolojileri Michael Foucault’nun “yönetimsellik” ve Antonio Gramsci’nin “hegemonya” kavramlarıyla ilişkili olarak tartışılmaktadır. Küçük işletmelerin, hem Foucault’nun ileri sürdüğü gibi güdülerin güdülenmesi (conduct of conduct) hem de Gramsci’nin kavramsallaştırdığı anlamda ortak duyunun eklemlenmesi yoluyla, neoliberalizmin asli iktidar araçlarından biri olan “girişimcilik” mantığını toplumsallaştıran ve içselleştiren yapılar oldukları ileri sürülmektedir.
