Re: Governmentality

Alan,
Sorry, slack referencing:

Another article of interest might be the following by Caroline Hoy in the
journal Health and Place 2001 Dec;7(4):261-71.

This paper reviews the nature and explores the context of, and reactions
to, reproductive health education in China by both the target population of
adolescents at school and the wider public. The debate about reproductive
health education and its content is taking place within the context of
rapid behavioural and sociological changes in China which, in turn is,
generating conflicting demands concerning the need for education by the
population and the control of the population by the government. Foucault's
theories on sexuality and discipline are found to be useful in exploring
the subject of reproductive health education in China.

And, while I think about it, Matt Hannah dealt with gender and the census
in the following:
