Genealogy and the Governance of Self and Others
This paper explores the use of genealogical readings of administrative law cases as a practice of ethical education in public administration. The proposed approach draws on John Rohr's use of court cases as a teaching method in public administration and Michel Foucault's exploration, in his last three lecture courses, of Greek and Roman practices of parrhesia, or free-spokenness. Rohr argued that the interlocutory treatment of court cases cultiva…
Temporality and Reconciliation
Enchantment, Weak Ontologies, and Administrative Ethics
The article contributes to an enlivening of ethical discourse by employing the notion of weak ontology. Weak ontologies insist that fundamental sources of inspiration, or “ontostories, ” are indispensable to a vital ethics, even as it admits that every onto-story is contestable. The article considers powerful perspectives that militate against implementing weak ontology: liberalism's conception of the neutral framework and Max Weber's characteriz…

Ontology and Refusal in Subaltern Ethics
This essay seeks to dramatize possibilities for an ethos of refusal in public administration by drawing upon what I will call subaltern ethics. The writers of subaltern ethics considered here include feminist philosopher Judith Butler, narrators of American slavery, and African-American “womanist” ethicist, Katie Canon. These writers' ethical projects are contrasted with three others representing Kantian, utilitarian-managerialist, and post-moder…
Administrative Law and Governmentality
This essay juxtaposes two discourses: administrative law and governmentality. Governmentality, a study originating with Michel Foucault, might be defined as a study of how practices of individuality become invested by relations of power such that individuals and families come to enact socially prescribed duties as their own concern. Administrative law is situated at the intersection where the constitutional state, with its rights and limits, inte…
Mourning Administrative Generosity in a Postgenerous Time
This article examines the role of generosity in public administration from a peculiar literary perspective, that of Wallace Shawn’s play, The Designated Mourner. In the recent past, deontologists in the discipline, such as Emette Redford, articulated rich theories of democratic responsiveness, but today these theories no longer command a scholarly consensus. This collapse, or “death,” of deontology has led to a scramble for a new philosophical fo…
Civil Service Reform and the Political Culture of Governmentality
Civil service reform has usually been viewed in one of two ways: as the triumph of integrity over greed, or as the triumph of elitism over party democracy. This paper takes a third path and interprets reform as an exemplar of what Michel Foucault called governmentality, a practice of governance under which society promotes certain practices of individuality which in turn promote specific practices of sociality, for instance professionalism and ex…
