Australian rules philosophy football
Australian behaviourists Peter Kelly and Christopher Hickey claim Michel Foucault's ideas may be usefully applied to understanding Australian Football League management (via Tim Blair). "The Ethics of the Concern for Self as a Practice of Freedom" and "Subjectivity and Truth" are particular inspirations, apparently.
Elsewhere, the business community has been, on the whole, slow to adopt Foucault's contributions to the philosophy of accounting. But the Australian Football League has built itself a platypus of a game by incorporating odd elements from the most unexpected places. It is unafraid to throw something different - even a dead French intellectual icon - into its business plans.
