Rejecting static and reductionist understandings of subjectivity this book asks how people find their place in the world. Mapping the Subject is an inter-disciplinary exploration of subjectivity which focuses on the importance of space in the constitution of acting thinking feeling individuals. The authors develop their arguments through detailed case studies and clear theoretical expositions. Themes discussed are organised into four parts: constructing the subject sexuality and subjectivity the limits of identity and the politics of the subject. There is here a commitment to mapping the subject - a subject which is in some ways fluid in other ways fixed; which is located in constantly unfolding power knowledge and social relationships. This book is moreover about new maps for the subject. . Language: English
