With no precise boundaries, always on the move and too complex to
be defined by space and time, is it possible to map the human
subject?
This book attempts to do just this, exploring the places of the
subject in contemporary culture. The editors approach this subject
from four main aspects--its construction, sexuality, limits and
politics--using a wide ranging review of literature on subjectivity
across the social and human sciences. The first part of the book
establishes the idea that the subject is constructed through
detailed histories of the subject. The second part shows that
sexuality cannot be assumed to be natural through the contributors'
research on the place of sexuality in subjectivity and subjectivity
in sexuality. The essays in the third part take issue with the idea
of a singular, self-contained identity. Power relations and the
effects of power are consistent themes throughout the book and the
final section deals explicitly with relations of power, whether
organized around gender, race, class or other kinds of difference.
