Panopticon reloaded
In der aktuellen konkret berichtet Matthias Becker (konkret, Nr.9/2008, S.28f, nur print) über Labours geplante Maßnahmen zur weiteren Pathologisierung der Arbeitslosen. Dabei verweist Becker auf eine von Liam Byrne - Leiter des Cabinet Office - vorgeschlagene schwarze Utopie einer lebenslangen Schul- und Gesundheitsinstitution; im entsprechenden Guardian-Artikel liest sich dies wie folgt:
In a Guardian interview, Liam Byrne, Cabinet Office minister, argues that the findings underline the need for a new wave of locally based reforms, including the use of school buildings to offer "cradle- to-grave" education, health, retraining and parenting skills.
He says these schools, possibly incorporating health centres, backed by billions of pounds of new investment, could become the focus for bringing inward-looking, disengaged communities into contact with the wider world.
He said: "In the medieval days we built communities around the manor house and then in the 19th century we built communities about the factory and in the 21st century we need to build communities around schools.
Macht doch dem Benthamschen Panopticon alle Ehre, nicht wahr? Doch Becker ist skeptisch: Wahrscheinlich wird auch Liam Byrnes Mega-Sozialarbeitszentrum eine technokratische Phantasie bleiben.
