This article suggests that emotional capital as an embodied form of cultural capital can be treated as a neoliberal strategy of identity. The ethnographic research is based within a community of Polish coaches and their clients (coachees). The paper argues that the identity and the status of upper middle class members are built, not only through accumulating material goods and creating beneficial social relations, but also on adopting lifestyle habits such us participating in coaching practices, in order to attain self-awareness, emotional well-being as well as the ability to manage emotions. From my analytical perspective, one can see coaching as a materialisation of neoliberal technologies of governmentality, helping to reach and tweak the cognitive-emotional dispositions that make up a form of emotional capital. Being self-aware and emotionally mature, thus more productive, becomes a key element in the upper middle class members’ production of self-image, which were effectively the objects of my research. They define themselves, as well as the members of the class they associate with, on the basis of a neoliberal logic and the discourse of psy-disciplines.

The paper presents meanings of the contemporary school education in the reflections of the secondary school students. The intent of the research was to pinpoint the high schools students’ values of education and to search for the cultural dimensions of neoliberalism and the principles which govern the reason of pupils. At first, the author explains those parts of the theory of neoliberal govenmentality which are crucial for intepretation of the interviews with pupils. The author of this study discovers that fundamental concepts of discourse of life after graduation are skilfulness of an individual and assertion of individuality. These concepts are used for explanation of achievement of individuality. The author concludes that pupils do not consider the university as a place assess own life and to gain profit from study. The life after graduation is considered a project of a path to individual happiness and the life choice of university studies is subordinated to this reason.

This article concerns the neoliberal policy of guilt and shame, as one of the essential elements of the neoliberal governmentality of the poor. It assumes that this policy is reproduced at the state level, internalized, and then demonstrated in practices of defining one’s own identity. The authors seek the traces of the policy of guilt and shame in human ways of thinking about themselves, presented by the wards of MOPS centers (Centers for Family Support). At the same time, the authors search for attempts of exceeding the logic of neoliberal governmentality in the respondents’ statements, which contain the critical potential, in the sense of getting closer to understanding nonindividual determinants of neoliberal world order, and emancipatory potential, in the sense of creating a mental legitimacy for their actions.

Problematyka tekstu dotyczy neoliberalnej polityki winy i wstydu, ujmowanej jako jeden z istotnych elementów neoliberalnego urządzania ubogich. Zakładamy, że owa polityka jest reprodukowana na poziomie państwa, uwewnętrzniana, a następnie manifestuje się w praktykach definiowania przez ludzi ich własnej tożsamości. Śladów polityki winy i wstydu poszukujemy w sposobach myślenia o sobie, prezentowanych przez podopiecznych MOPS-ów. Równocześnie w wypowiedziach respondentek szukamy również prób przekraczania logiki neoliberalnego urządzania, zawierających potencjał krytyczny w znaczeniu zbliżania się do rozumienia ponadosobistych uwarunkowań wytworzonego porządku neoliberalnego świata i potencjał emancypacyjny w sensie tworzenia myślowego umocowania dla podejmowanych przez nich działań.

This article focuses on welfare surveillance as a sociological sub-discipline and a specific issue that has emerged in the past two decades in relation to the neoliberal revolution and the transformation of social systems in the West. The paper has three main goals: (1) a theoretical conceptualisation of welfare surveillance based on an analysis of existing empirical research; (2) an analysis of socio-practical manifestations and impacts of welfare surveillance; and (3) a contextualisation of the implementation of welfare surveillance within the Czech social milieu during recent social reforms. Within the scope of the first two goals, the author shows that welfare surveillance is theoretically construed along the lines of a specific combination of social justice and neoliberal governmentality, and that welfare surveillance enables the application of specific illiberal practices to welfare applicants and recipients in order to effectively discipline and normalise them, which results in the stigmatisation and criminalisation of recipients. Given that there is relatively little research on surveillance in the Czech Republic, the article opens with an introduction to the issue of surveillance.
