Preview The 'Death of the Subject' Explained

Description:
Cultural theroists and literary critics announced the 'Death of the Subject' in the 1970s, but few people understood what they meant, or its importance. James Heartfield explains the importance of the autonomous Subject, not just to theory, but also as the cornerstone of everyday life, and why so many people agree that the subject is on its last legs. The 'Death of the Subject' Explained shows that everyone from post-modernists to communitarians, feminists to ecologists agree that human subjectivity is a big problem. Heartield uncovers the origins of the intellectual retreat from subjectivity in the defeat of political alternatives of left and right, and explains the negative consequences of a degraded subjectivity for society.
