Tóm tắt
Drawing on the literature on governmentality, recent studies of colonial power emphasize the role of sovereign power and discipline as the means of creating obedient subjects in the exercise and maintenance of colonial rule. Through examining educational materials of the Bakht er Ruda educational institute of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and its work in liberalizing education, this essay argues for the significance of liberal technologies of rule as modes of exercising power and securing colonial rule over the natives. Specifically, we will look at two aspects of Bakht er Ruda’s programme. Through a close reading of colonial era documents, we will first examine the use of school societies as a means of training the Sudanese into a harmonious and orderly social whole through the interiorization of a set of norms, bringing together ideas and practices relating to freedom and responsibility. Secondly, we look at the introduction of psychology as a language and set of techniques utilized by the institute in the construction of political subjects skilled in the self-regulation of desires and actions necessary for the free and responsible subject, upon which liberalism as a strategy of power depends. © 2019, © 2019 Centre of African Studies, University of Edinburgh.
