Collective and Individual Subjectivities. Contemporary perspectives for being and doing in common

Main Article Content

IRANDINA AFONSO

The conceptual domain of subjectivity exceeds the polarized meanings of the philosophical subject (as interiorized and ontological-transcendental subjectivity related to the Cartesian and Kantian subjects) and of the political, legal, and historic subject. The quasi-opposition between those interpretations - in which philosophy could even be read as an inhibitor of the political subject - is questioned by today’s struggles against multiple forms of domination. Struggles where subjectivity interconnects with, e.g., the universal, identity politics, and intersectionality. Following
this, I propose a brief analysis of alternative configurations of subjectivity, combined with an attention to processes of subjectivation. I intend to highlight the relevance, for effective socio-political transformations, in moving from a primarily abstract dimension of subjectivity to one of
relationality between theory, practice, and humanity.

Paraules clau
