ABSTRACT

In chapter 5, we explore how civil society is produced as a rationality of governing, at a distance from (though, intertwined in) the public sector produced through differentiation. Here, we analyse how a domain of autonomous relations and activities are produced in discourse and how this domain is mobilized for various governing purposes. From this point of view, we spotlight the significance of authentic relations, trust and community attributed to sport and civil society, making certain technologies of integration and social reformation possible.
