Description |
A prominent theme of poststructuralist theory is that the "subject" is a problematic concept. In taking this position, poststructuralism is not alone. The status of the subject has long been at issue in Marxist debates about ideology, agency, structure, interests, and representation, to name only a few. Feminist theory, too, has challenged the notion of the subject in its attention to questions of identity, gender, rationality, and individuality. In the shared questioning of the subject, poststructuralist theorists, Marxists, and feminists have occasionally discovered affinity in their intellectual projects. |
