| Title: | Assembling the crisis of COVID-19 in Australia : a Foucauldian analysis of prime ministerial press conferences in March 2020 | Authors: | Turnbull, M | Issue Date: | Sep-2023 | Source: | Genealogy, Sept 2023, v. 7, no. 3, 66 | Abstract: | In this article, I present a Foucauldian analysis of the speeches made by the then Prime Minister of Australia (Mr. Scott Morrison) in March 2020. This analysis sets out to explore the political rationalities that assembled COVID-19 as a particular type of ‘problem’ that warranted unprecedented governmental intervention into the everyday lives of citizens. I believe that the insights provided by such an analysis are relevant to ongoing examination of governing in liberal democracies both during a crisis and afterwards. | Keywords: | Australia COVID-19 Foucault press conferences |
