Translating Neoliberalism : The European Social Fund and the Governing of Unemployment and Social Exclusion in Malmö, Sweden
- 2018
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis is concerned with how the governing of unemployment and social exclusion is accomplished through labor market projects that are initiated, tailored, and co- financed by the European Social Fund. The aim is to map and problematize how such projects, as examples of neoliberal programs of government that promote social cohesion and combat unemployment amongst identified “ethnic others,” become operational and legitimized in the Swedish context through multiple acts of translation. By scrutinizing the discursive, calculative, and visual practices that constitute them, the thesis also considers some of the consequences of this way of governing as well as the larger political landscapes in which they function. Ultimately, the political problem that is addressed concerns how certain “truths” about unemployed “ethnic others” in Sweden are facilitated within and co- produced by the European Social Fund and the projects it sets in motion. It thereby calls into question practices that are legitimized in the name of diversity, inclusion, and tolerance. The analysis includes discussions about the multivalent relationship between colonial and neoliberal rationalities of government, as well as how compassion and pity function to legitimize certain practices of inclusion.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Over the past decades, project-based interventions directed towards unemployed and poor people in identified ‘deprived’ neighbourhoods have become a well-established practice within the EU. In the Swedish context, the objective to break segregation and end social exclusion has generated, and continues to generate, hundreds of projects directed towards certain targeted groups and so called problematic and vulnerable areas. Drawing from empirical studies of EU-funded labour market projects in Malmö, Sweden, the argument brought forward in this chapter is that these projects become practically operational and morally justifiable and legitimate through three acts of translation; framing, calculation, and arrangements of visibility. Using these processes of translation as methodological tools, the ambition is to offer a critical analysis of projectification that is theoretically reflective, empirically anchored, and politically motivated. The chapter illustrates the sometimes-contradictory and politically problematic nature of the inner workings of projects, both in terms of how they are motivated and articulated, financially constructed, and promoted.
