Abstract

This essay conceptualizes glitter as a sensuous materialization of governmentality. It does so, arguing that glitter governs in alluring ways by materializing light and sight. As such, the essay explores glitter as a sparkly substance, governing individuals in certain behavioural directions, which it also demonstrates in the illustrative case of a small group of gleaming STEM Barbies, intended to govern young girls in the direction of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics management careers, through sensuous stimulations of sight. However, in materializing light and sight, glitter leaves everything un-glittery in gloomy darkness, while governing with glitter also comes with the danger of producing an unfortunate ignorant blindness, potentially countering the aims behind the use of glitter as a governing means.

闪闪发光的感性政府：用闪闪发光的 STEM 芭比娃娃教育管理女科学家

这篇文章将闪光概念化为一种感官物化的政府性。文章认为，闪粉通过将光和视觉物质化，以诱人的方式进行管理。因此，这篇文章探讨了闪闪发光的物质，将个人的行为导向特定的方向，并以一小群闪闪发光的 STEM 芭比娃娃为例作了说明，旨在通过对视觉的感官刺激，将年轻女孩导向科学、技术、工程和数学管理职业的方向。然而，在将光和视觉具体化的过程中，闪闪发光的东西会让一切不闪闪发光的东西陷入阴郁的黑暗之中，而用闪闪发光的东西进行管理也会带来产生不幸的无知盲目性的危险，从而有可能违背使用闪闪发光的东西作为管理手段背后的目的。
