ABSTRACT

The question of revolt and refusal in relation to Christian subjectivity now emerges. Foucault attempted in the fi nal years of his life to reposition subjectivity as the overall objective of his work, redefi ning power as beyond purely disciplinary, to the exercise of forms of governmentality (Patton, 2009: 588). My analysis observes the Foucauldian tradition by now focusing on the participants’ government of their own selves, and the opportunities they describe to recast that self-government apart from evangelical norms and the previous shaping of their thoughts and behaviours.
