Subjectivity by Nick Mansfield
The concern with the self, with our subjectivity, is the main point of reference in modern Western societies. This work explores how notions of subjectivity have developed over the 20th century, analyzing the work of modern and postmodern theorists such as Freud, Foucault, and Haraway.
"Effortlessly and with humor and passion, Mansfield offers the reader a telling, trenchantly articulated account of the complex enigma of the selfWith its graceful movements between disciplines, ideas, and areas of interest, Subjectivity deserves to become a benchmark for all such student introductions." -- Julian Wolfreys,University of Florida
"I am who? No topic is more crucial to contemporary cultural theory than subjectivity, and Nick Mansfield has written what has long been lackinga lucid, smart introduction to work in the field." -- Simon During,University of Melbourne
