Enjoy Your Work! The Fantasy of the Neoliberal Workplace and Its Consequences for the Entrepreneurial Subject
This article critically examines the ways in which organizational performance and audit practices intersect with the dynamics of contemporary capitalism, managerialism, and individualism to shape the experience of the entrepreneurial, “postneurotic” subject at work. Drawing from Lacanian psychoanalytic theory, the article argues that the conditions for the contemporary subject are characterized by the declining efficacy of the Symbolic order, whi…
The University in the Knowledge Economy
This article introduces the debate about the role of the university in the knowledge economy to the literature on doctoral education in public administration. An important part of this narrative is the rise of academic capitalism and the increasing tension between symbolic and commodified knowledge. A second part of this narrative is intellectual work as public work. Central to this idea of academic public work is the co-producing of knowledge an…

Commanded to Enjoy
This article addresses the recent changes in social experience and the effect these changes have on the practice of public administration. It is argued that we have moved from a society of prohibition to a society of commanded enjoyment. This thesis is explored using the frame of Lacanian psychoanalysis. The central claim is that the waning of traditional authority means that enjoyment or jouissance operates on an axis of possibility or impossibi…

New Public Management and Substantive Democracy
The authors are concerned that a remaining refuge of substantive democracy in America, the public sector, is in danger of abandoning it in favor of the market model of management. They argue that contemporary American democracy is confined to a shrunken procedural remnant of its earlier substantive form. The classical republican model of citizen involvement faded with the rise of liberal capitalist society in the late nineteenth and early twentie…

Echoes of the “Misfounding” of Public Administration
This paper build on previous research into the “X Generation,” in particular their apparent cynicism about all theories of organization as being mere strategies of manipulation. Their voices were described in that study as “the voice of a new cohort of students that we will increasingly find in our classrooms” (Marshall, 1997). Current MPA students at the University of Nebraska at Omaha participated infocus group discussions designed to elicit in…
Anti-Matter and Public Administration
In Search of Commensurability
T Vhe 1990s have been challenging years for theory builders in the public administration and public policy communities. The politically charged U.S. reforms made under the auspices of the National Performance Review and the sweeping governmental reform in democratic nations around the globe are nothing less than a sea change. Amid this change, two central themes have emerged: managerialism and governance. This essay highlights two key works on pu…
Whither (Or Wither) OPM
The recent departure of Jim King as the director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) marks the closure of a dramatic period in the short history of the agency. During King's tenure, over half of the agency's personnel were sacked and much of the agency's mission was given to the human resource departments of individual federal agencies. King stands out among his peers because of his fierce loyalty to the political dimension of government …
Public Administration and the Public Interest
This article analyzes how the concept of the public interest has been articulated in the field of public administration. It traces the intellectual development of the term and highlights the differences between a definition of the public interest that emphasizes a "community of meaning" and a definition that emphasizes the "objective control of administration." The article then goes on to discuss how the current debates concerning the postmodern …
Redressing the balance — an archaeological evaluation of North Yorkshire's coastal alum industry
Recent acquisitions of coastline by the National Trust in North Yorkshire and Cleveland have included important archaeological evidence of North Yorkshire's former alum industry. Owing to its remote marginal location this evidence has been little studied and there has previously been a bias towards the study of documentary sources as a means of understanding the alum industry. The archaeology of the alum industry is seriously threatened by relent…
The History and Archaeology of the Calke Abbey lime-yards
The Harpur Crewe estate in Derbyshire, now the property of The National Trust, possesses what is probably the largest concentration of lime-kilns in Great Britain. Through the fortunate survival of the estate papers, it has been possible both to reconstruct the history of the lime-yards and to relate the documentary and physical evidence. Selective excavation of kilns in the yards has enabled the construction of a typology for the late eighteenth…
The Blacksburg Manifesto and the Postmodern Debate
The question, “Does the message of the Blacksburg Manifesto fit the times that we are in now and the times that seem to be shaping up in the next decade or longer?” is addressed by epistemologically locating the Blacksburg Manifesto and by introducing the postmodern debate to the field of public administration. The well-known Blacksburg Manifesto is described as an example of high modernism, beyond the functionalist paradigm, because although the…
