In "Willful Subjects" Sara Ahmed explores willfulness as a charge
often made by some against others. One history of will is a history
of attempts to eliminate willfulness from the will. Delving into
philosophical and literary texts, Ahmed examines the relation
between will and willfulness, ill will and good will, and the
particular will and general will. Her reflections shed light on how
will is embedded in a political and cultural landscape, how it is
embodied, and how will and willfulness are socially mediated.
Attentive to the wayward, the wandering, and the deviant, Ahmed
considers how willfulness is taken up by those who have received
its charge. Grounded in feminist, queer, and antiracist politics,
her sui generis analysis of the willful subject, the figure who
wills wrongly or wills too much, suggests that willfulness might be
required to recover from the attempt at its elimination.
