Popis: Over the past 10–15 years, state-funded schools have begun to require parents to assume an undefined and infinite personal responsibility. In this article, weinvestigate how schools organize responsibility games to respond to this challenge and how these games affect the concept of responsibility. We point to adislocation in the way parents are assigned responsibility, because the definitionof responsibility is not only a question of formulating rules or providing advice.We argue that what emerges is a kind of playful hyper responsibility thatidentifies responsibility as the participation in a process of public exploration byparents of the definition of their specific responsibilities. This has several consequences, one of which is that it becomes difficult to have a political discussion about what can reasonably be expected of parents.
