Subjects in Process - Diversity, Mobility, and the politics of Subjectivity in the 21st Century (Paperback)

"Subjects in Process" investigates the human subject in the first decade of the twenty-first century in relation to changing social circumstances and belongings. The concept of subjectivity in the Western tradition has focused on the figure of the individual, knowing and acting human subject often thought to be autonomous, self-conscious, and rooted. This book calls into question the traditional view of the subject, and offers a new framework that emphasizes the subject in process. Written from a perspective that takes account of globalization and the pressures that it places upon individuals and communities this book draws upon Nietzsche and the post-modern thinkers that follow him, and develops a conception of the subject that is nomadic, fluid, and migratory, rather than grounded and complete. Arguing that a modern conception of the subject must be one based on cultural exchanges and transformations, this book is sure to provide new insights, suggestions, and developments for anyone concerned with or interested in the identity of the individual now and in the future.
