The Teacher's Soul and the Terrors of Performativity.
Ball, Stephen J.
Journal of Education Policy, v18 n2 p215-28 Mar-Apr 2003
Argues that performativity is a new mode of state regulation that makes it possible to govern in an "advanced liberal" way. For example, it requires individual practitioners to organize themselves as a response to targets, indicators, and evaluations. For some, this is an opportunity to achieve success, while for others it portends inner conflicts, inauthenticity and resistance. (Contains 38 references.) (Author/PKP)
