Culture, government, and spatiality: re-assessing the 'Foucault effect' in cultural-policy studies
This article critically discusses the reconceptualization of culture and governmentality in recent Australian ‘cultural–policy studies’. It argues that the further development of this conceptualization requires a more careful consideration of the complex relations between culture, power and the different spatialities of social practices. The assumptions of this literature regarding social-democratic public institutions and the nation-state are critically addressed in the light of contemporary processes of globalization. It is argued that the use made of Foucault in this paradigm privileges a model of disciplinary power which is dependent on a particular spatialization of social subjects and technologies of the self. As a result, an uncritical application of this model to all cultural practices supports a far too coherent image of practices of ‘government’ in producing sought-after subject-effects. It is suggested that the different articulations of spatio-temporal presence and absence in cultural technologies require a less totalizing understanding of the forms of power exercised through governmental practices
Environmental History of Hovey Lake, Southwestern Indiana
Studies of pollen stratigraphy in conjunction with available information on floodplain sedimentation and rates of channel migration indicate that Hovey Lake is a recent feature, having originated between 600 and 700 years ago. Land-use practices in the region have had a significant effect on rates of sedimentation in the lake. The pre-1830 rate was 0.74 cm/year; the post-1830 rate is 2.45 cm/year. During the history of the lake the regional forests have been constant in composition, while shoreline vegetation has changed appreciably. Cypress became abundant on the lakeshore about 150 years ago
