ABSTRACT

In this chapter, we examine the rationalities and technologies of empowerment taking form and forming the activities. In this examination, we look closely into the non-authoritative relations of community, investigating how the development of certain powers are facilitated, and how the activities and choices enabled by empowerment are guided through dialogue between coaches and participants. Here, the active engagement of subjects in the governing technologies needs to be formed through subtle guidance, based on the desire of participants. Accordingly, power works subtly by means of facilitation, responsibilization and production.
