Modern philosophy continues to grapple with the idea of
subjectivity--and, as the concept of subjectivity has consequently
been repeatedly refined and redefined, the struggle has spread to
the ways we conceive of sovereignty, collectivity, nationality, and
identity as a result. Yet, in the absence of an authoritative
account of these central philosophical concepts, exciting new ways
of thinking have emerged which continue to develop and evolve.
Epidemic Subjects--Radical Ontology brings together a renowned team
of contributors, including Levi Bryant, Angela Melitopoulos, and
Susan Stryker, who together forge a radically inclusive definition
of subjectivity. Drawing on Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari's
concept of the "girl" as a heuristic device for examining modern
society and its foundations, they tie together recent trends in
philosophy and offer a concrete way forward from the conception of
the "thing" or "object" privileged by new materialism, speculative
realism, and other theories of subjectivity.
