Abstract

Drawing on Foucault’s approach of Governmentality, the article highlights the impact of the activation paradigm linked with the rise of the adult worker model on women’s subjectification from a genealogic and intersectional perspective, using the example of Germany. Focusing on the aspect of care and women’s tensions between worker- and carer-role, the article presents and discusses results from a qualitative secondary analysis using an intersectional multi-level analysis. The analysis links the levels of gender norms, (gender) identity and social structure, which enables to further understand the status quo of current gender relations.


Keywords: Subjectification, Adult Worker Model, Care, Intersectional Multi-Level Analysis, Genealogy.
