Explores the history of theories of selfhood, from the Classical
era to the present, and demonstrates how those theories can be
applied in literary and cultural criticism. Donald E. Hall:
* examines all of the major methodologies and theoretical
emphases of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including
psychoanalytic criticism, materialism, feminism and queer
theory
* applies the theories discussed in detailed readings of literary
and cultural texts, from novels and poetry to film and the visual
arts
* offers a unique perspective on our current obsession with
perfecting our selves
* looks to the future of selfhood given the new identity
possibilities arising out of developing technologies.
Examining some of the most exciting issues confronting cultural
critics and readers today, Subjectivity is the essential
introduction to a fraught but crucial critical term and a challenge
to the way we define our selves.
