Edward Said and the Question of Subjectivity explores the notion of
subjectivity implicated in and articulated by Said in his writings.
Analyzing several of his major works, Pannian argues that there is
a shift in Said's intellectual trajectory that takes place after
the composition of Orientalism. In so doing, Said forthrightly
attempts to retrieve a theoretical and political humanism, as
Pannian identifies, despite the difficult and sanguinary aspects of
its past. He elaborates upon Said's understanding that only after
recognising the structures of violence and coming to discern
strategies of interpellation, may the individual subject
effectively resist them. Pannian also explores Said's ideas on
exilic subjectivity, the role of intellectuals, acts of memory,
critical secularism, affiliation and solidarity before dwelling on
his interface with Marxist thinkers such as Antonio Gramsci,
Theodor Adorno, and Raymond Williams. This engagement marks Said's
own subject formation, and shapes his self-reflexive mode of
knowledge production.
