註釋A Foucaultian analysis informs the analysis of neoliberalism's penetration by explicating the ways in which neoliberalism acts as a regulatory ideology and practice à la Foucault. In other words, neoliberalism is not merely about rolling back the state; in Hawthorne House it acts as a disciplinary device to control the marginalized and disposed. This dissertation draws on in-depth interviews with residents, officials, and volunteers; field observations; and an examination of textual sources (e.g., brochures, posters) in order to assess the impact of the program on the residents' quality of life. The research documents how residents' lives are exceedingly ruled; however, what is far more profound is that the Hawthorne House program professes to motivate and enable mobility, while seemingly doing the opposite. Officials fail to contextualize the lives of low-income lone mothers, essentially ignoring, pathologizing, and individualizing social inequalities.
