Sasha-- Just one note where there is misunderstanding in the conversation.
The issue of social/societal makes a difference to many.I wish who discussed
exactly this issue at ISCAR. Social, in Anglo-US discouse, is often a way of
reducing "THE SOCIAL" to two people having a phone conversation, any sort of
interaction. The term societal has been invoked as a way of blocking this
form
of reductionism.

Could somone, other than Anna who uses the term subjectivity and knows well
how to use it in their work please respond to the misgivings about its use
that
I tried asking about some days ago? And Joe asked about in a different way
today?

I think that it might help us sort out misunderstandings from disagreements.
