In our chapter, we explore how the intersection of governmentality studies with critical discourse analysis (CDA) enables an empirical and analytical examination of the ways in which discursive and non-discursive practices contribute to the rationalities (episteme) and apparatus (techne) of governmentality. To this end, we examine urban security policies and discourses in >Milan over the past decade. Drawing on archival data, official statistics and research reports, we analyse the general policy framework that has emerged and consolidated in the period considered. Special attention is paid to a new frame for urban policies inaugurated in 2005 with the stipulation of “Local pacts for Urban Security”.

Abstract

In our chapter, we explore how the intersection of governmentality studies with critical discourse analysis (CDA) enables an empirical and analytical examination of the ways in which discursive and non-discursive practices contribute to the rationalities (episteme) and apparatus (techne) of governmentality. To this end, we examine urban security policies and discourses in >Milan over the past decade. Drawing on archival data, official statistics and research reports, we analyse the general policy framework that has emerged and consolidated in the period considered. Special attention is paid to a new frame for urban policies inaugurated in 2005 with the stipulation of “Local pacts for Urban Security”.
