Subjectivity

General approach

Definition

subjectivity subject

Subjectivity is clean Sujet.

If word sounds a little like “emotional”, it is well, to begin again expression of Jocelyn Benoist, because subjectivity is “this omnipresent reason which appears everywhere where is the social relation, in the infinite variation of its plays”:

“in the culture of the affection and the thoughts, whose experiment constitutes the content of the return to oneself, one should see only the undertow of the world, the return to oneself being return of the world to oneself, not in the end of its plays, but in the passage always again possible of one of its plays to another. The " solitude" where I " me" find renews me towards the others, towards the experiment of other forms of the social relation, apart from the established codes. Ego ties themselves and unties themselves, of a code to another. The scale of these variations is subjectivity.”

Philosophical course

“Subjective” the report/ratio with a Nature indicates just as easily “humanized”, since nature and the artifice tend to merge. The report/ratio with others is not any more one question of sympathy, as at Scheler, but of ethical. Benjamin, Adorno, Kracauer questions the report/ratio with nature in its historicity: it is not any more one spiritual incarnation, but a reality saturated with history, marked by the concrete transformations of the Technique. Deleuze and Foucault questions the Affect in what it irréductiblement has of foreign with the intention - in his madness: the affect is not relative any more to value S, but returns to the experiment of the impossible one.

Subjectivitys in crisis

One cannot take subjectivity like data, configured by the universal structures of the Psyché, but, on the contrary, it is necessary to suppose productions differentiated from Subjectivation S, leaving open the question of knowing which type of reports/ratios it (/les) subjectivity (S) and L (be) identity (S) maintain in a mondialized context (see Philippe Zarifian or Rada Ivekovic for example).

“Subjectivity” tends here to have a directly political valence, which would interest something like a Anthropologie widened, including/understanding that, specific, opened at the beginning of the XXe century by philosophers like Weber or Simmel, centered on the subjective characteristics registered in the Culture, the history, and which raised the question not “what the man? ”, but “which sums us today, what to be modern? ”, therefore well beyond the reducing problems of the Ideology S. According to Felix Guattari, for example,

“phenomena of social struggle, such as they are released from the history of the working world (and thus not only through the analysis of the theorists Marxiste S) are processes which fall under the genealogy of the subjective locations . They thus constitute, of only one holding, the objective power struggles and the production companies of subjectivity. One cannot include/understand the history of the Labor movement if one refuses to see that at certain times of the institutions of the labor movement new types of subjectivity produced and, to force the things, I will say even " races humaines" different.

The history proposes also true " to us; wars of subjectivity " , which one cannot seize the range if one does not make enter in account the changes of which it is here question” ( Pratique of institutional and political the , ED. Stamp) with knowing those concerning the interaction between the utility services (including the media) and the spirits and the imaginary ones.
