Note: The idea of
this reading list is to look at different theories and approaches towards the
making of subject and subjectivity. I would like to look at subjectivity as a
process of social interaction which delimits the borders of “I” in the
interaction with power, society and culture and which is informed and driven
from three principles perspectives: text, image and materiality. The first bloc
General/overlapping titles deals with
more general theoretical works, and the three others (first, Visuality; secondly, Embodiment, Materiality, Position; and
thirdly, Text, Discourse, Meaning)
deal with these particular perspectives I’d like to use in my dissertation
research. I subdivided each section by putting together in a separate
subsection (Soviet/Russian) books and articles which develop
theoretical approaches to the study of subjectivity on Soviet or post-Soviet
material.
