处于不利地位的年轻人往往生活在一个危险的空间：被排除在教育、培训和就业市场之外；被建造为一次性的；被丢弃为“人类排泄物”(Bauman，2004)。关于这种灾难性的趋势，有许多宏观层面的分析，但本文提供了对导致这种边缘化的一些日常教育微观做法的见解。它展示了一项对英格兰全国从学校到工作的过渡服务的研究结果，该服务不仅在新自由主义政策的背景下，而且在严厉的紧缩措施的背景下。这些数据揭示了在政府和机构目标的推动下进行分类、监测和控制的过程，这些过程剥夺了许多年轻人获得这项服务的机会，包括一些最脆弱的人。在社会包容的花言巧语下，该服务实际上充当了进入危险的排斥空间的管道。借鉴巴特勒和阿甘本的研究成果，文章创新性地认为，这种做法可能代表了一种日益侵蚀的例外状态，在这种状态下，或多或少微妙的治理形式正在逐渐被更公开地行使主权权力所取代。
Disadvantaged young people often inhabit a dangerous space: excluded from education, training and employment markets; constructed as disposable; and cast out as ‘human waste’ (Bauman, 2004). There are many macro-level analyses of this catastrophic trend, but this article provides insights into some of the everyday educational micro-practices which contribute to such marginalisation. It presents findings from a study of a national school-to-work transition service in England, in a context not only of neo-liberal policies but also of severe austerity measures. The data reveal processes of triage, surveillance and control – driven by governmental and institutional targets – which denied many young people access to the service, including some of the most vulnerable. Beneath a rhetoric of social inclusion, the service in fact acted as a conduit into a dangerous space of exclusion. Drawing on the work of Butler and of Agamben, the article argues innovatively that such practices may represent an encroaching state of exception, in which more or less subtle forms of governmentality are gradually being supplanted by the more overt exercise of sovereign power.
