43 1 Object formation Innovation as an object of inquiry In this first chapter, I examine the first mode of subjectivation that I intro‐ duced before: the notion of forming people in relation to different forms of inquiry. This may sound somewhat vague at first, but I will attempt to clarify matters. The stake of this chapter is to examine how the ‘object' of inquiry is related to the formation of a particular subject. In his earlier work, in which objects of inquiry are discussed, Foucault did not explicate this relation to subjectivation. As I said in the introduction, he did discuss this earlier work in such a light toward the end of his life. In this chapter, I try to give more body to this. One of the questions that Foucault asked in his book The Archaeology of Knowledge (1972) is how an object of inquiry is ‘formed'. As I said in the in‐ troduction, it seems that there are modes of inquiry that would probably not be considered as part of the scientific field, such as governmental gathering of data on public health. Nevertheless such ‘practical' inquiries are often closely related to the development of related sciences. With respect to inno‐ vation, for instance, it is clear that it is an object of study within a wide range of scientific disciplines – from engineering to business studies, from econom‐ ics to sociology. More recently, innovation studies is positioned as a disci‐ pline of its own (Fagerberg & Verspagen, 2009).

- foucault did not live to see the influence of politicians like margaret thatcher and ronal reagan
- the discussion of these traditions in relation to neoliberalism will be important from the point of view of postpanopticism
- apart from the focus on price competition and rational choice
- figure of the entrepreneur should in fact be considered as a next stage of the development that foucault described in economic though

- i start by a short overview of the different traditions of thinking about innovation

I Centre offers a 4 year degree. I First year includes taught courses, group and individual projects. I Later years research-based, though with some group activities. I Degree will be interdisciplinary, with joint supervisors. We don’t assume any particular knowledge, but relevant I courses would be Information Theory, Stochastic Processes, Complex Networks, Queuing Theory. Have 10 fully funded PhD studentships per year (usual I EPSRC eligibility rules). Funding is£17,500 stipend (tax-free), with fees paid. I
