By combining these perspectives, our study of the implementation of a technical procedure of DNA testing in immigration management can show essential features of policy-making, administrative practice and their changes.…”

DNA profiling is used to verify the claimed parentage of immigrants who apply for family reunification in at least 20 industrialised countries. Finland was one of the pioneers in the adoption of the technology. While laboratory practices are relatively similar, there are considerable differences between countries in the ways DNA profiling is used in decision-making. In this article, DNA testing is studied in the context of the Finnish migration regime in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Analysis of policy documents and interviews with immigration experts demonstrate the entwining and modification of two policy rationales: securing human rights and combating fraud.

“…En las sociedades contemporáneas estas heterotopías para la infancia como periodo crítico tienen el carácter de espacios preventivos (Bröckling, 2004). Mediante la espacialización de las políticas preventivas, por ejemplo de la criminalidad, y su localización o emplazamiento en los espacios escolares, se vuelve eficiente y barato dicho trabajo -tecnología social-social.…”

ResumenEn el marco de una nueva política de atención integral a la infancia, durante las últimas administraciones la ciudad de Medellín ha venido realizando una considerable inversión en infraestructura urbana, específicamente con la creación, en lugares estratégicos de la ciudad, de grandes jardines infantiles. Este escrito tiene como propósito pensar en clave foucaultiana esos espacios como heterotopías, es decir, como espacios otros para el gobierno (gubernamentalidad) de la población infantil. Partimos así, del presupuesto según el cual la reestructuración y resignificación del espacio educativo escolar y de las prácticas en su interior no obedece a una suerte de preocupación pedagógica y filantrópica que sin más se pueda considerar desligada de un contexto histórico y social y al margen de ciertos intereses y de ciertas relaciones de poder. Para ello, y de la mano de Foucault, en una primera parte se le pasa revista al concepto de heterotopía y a sus particularidades; en la segunda parte, se profundiza en la caracterización de los mega jardines infantiles como heterotopías y se plantea que estos espacios educativos otros -además de su función educativa y formativa-cumplen con un papel gubernamental en el sentido que permiten el gobierno de la población infantil gracias a que se convierten en lugares estratégicos para la implementación de tecnologías sociales como la prevención. AbstractUnder a new policy of comprehensive child care during the past administrations Medellin has been making a considerable investment in urban infrastructure, specifically the creation in strategic locations in the city, large kindergartens. This paper aims to reflect upon these spaces as key Foucauldian heterotopias, ie, as Recibido: 25

“…It can be used to imagine and deal with all kinds of organizations, organizations as a whole (for example total-quality manage- ment), and single organizational problems (for example financial management, human resource management). In fact, it can be applied to the self as well, for example through self-enhancement literature (see Bröckling 2004). Based on this, we define evaluative practices as practices of checking outcomes and processes within an organization that are presented as (1) systematic and (2) aimed towards permanent optimization.…”

“…An example of such an organization would be one that has fully adopted the concept of TQM: "In contrast to older concepts of quality assurance that are limited to control strategies for the production process and only cover technical and functional product quality, TQM extends quality control to all organizational activities and also includes, besides products and the production process, all communication with customers." (Bröckling 2004:136, translated by the authors) Customer satisfaction is monitored, for example, through surveys. Because customer satisfaction is dependent on employee service quality, employee performance is also continuously monitored.…”

How do evaluative practices become natural and ubiquitous in an organization? In this paper we integrate findings from previous empirical work on the adoption of evaluative practices in organizations with insights from institutional theory and social psychology research for advancing the understanding of possible states of evaluative practices within organizations and the processes through which organizations become permeated by evaluative practices. Our conceptual model suggests that once evaluative practices have gained a foothold in an organization, they tend to be applied to an increasing number of organizational problems and become taken for granted.
