"The idea of domination points to the aim of disciplinary technologies, which seek to produce docile subjects, a “docile (body) that may be subjected, used, transformed and improved” (Foucault 1979). Neoliberalism certainly functions, on one level, through this particular technique, however it comes to fruition through a somewhat less apparent mode of governmentality: techniques of the self. Nikolas Rose (1999) conveys how techniques of the self, embodied in various ways from language to the production of space, have been “an exercise of inhibition of the self by the self, a kind of despotism of the self at the heart of liberalism” (43)."
