| Abstract | This paper seeks to tell and untell five stories about the notion of "policy hysteria." The first story, about developments in vocationalism in the United Kingdom over the last decade, serves as illustration for the second story, which is a critical analysis of vocationalist discourse. It is alleged that vocationalist discourse is made irrational by a whole series of shifts and displacements in meaning and activity, amounting to a condition of "policy hysteria." The third story picks up and picks apart the central notion of time that is implicit in both vocationalist discourse and in its analysis in the second story. Identifying a modernist collusion between the second and third stories, the fourth story attempts a more radical deconstruction of metaphors of "movement" in time and space that underpin "policy hysteria" as a concept, and offers an account of the phenomenon that does not depend on an overt or covert foundationalism--unlike the previous stories. The last tale is more of a riddle than a narrative: it is the question of how to render a deconstructive account. Contains 29 references. (Author/LMI) |
