Judy-- I would like to follow the thread of your and dianne's notes
which views subjectivity as the lived experience of events. Under what
conditions can we know the lived expeience of another person about
anything?
mike, i think of subjectivity as positioning with respect to power; it's the
scene one is subjected to, as it is experienced -- i.e., as the intersection
of some subject's social history and the social matrix that interpellates
the subject into being. there's no way 'in' to another's subjectivity.
period. there IS a way in to the subject's perspective, via representations.
and there is also knowledge about social structures and the social histories
of groups within a particular society. i don't know if that helps...
there's much more for conversation, but i'm leaving early in the a.m. for
d.c. & have promised a review & a revision before i leave. back dec. 3.
judy
p.s., my thinking is formulative here
