Michael,
Do you have anything by Levinas himself that you would recommend,
something that sheds light on the concept of subjectivity as he uses
it. His ethical ideas I have found attractive, but I have found him
difficult to "get into"?
It is interesting to me how much of the literature in this very broad
area associates "subjectivity" chiefly with the notion of "identity."
Is this true of Levinas?

Hi all,
a bit belated after a trip to Oslo and back, barely avoiding snow
storms in Frankfurt.
Chapter 10 of our book
Roth, W.-M., Hwang, S., Lee, Y-J., & Goulart, M. (2005).
Participation, learning, and identity: Dialectical perspectives.
Berlin: Lehmanns Media.
explicitly deals with the relation of the individual | collective
dialectic in organizations. Good work has been done by Emmanuel
Levinas, from a dialectical perspective.
Also, research is not about "applying" concepts but working out
concepts that are relevant in and to praxis.
Cheers,
Michael

OK-- So I am giving seminars and lectures and having discussions
with
students and faculty at Pontificia Univ Catholica in Santiago. A
student
walks in at the end of the day, after participating in some of

and says that he wishes to do empirical work in community
psychology
to get a degree. He wishes to be able to say something about the
subjectivity
of participants in a community organization. What should he read?
He has read theoretical work about subjectivity, but he is not
clear how
these
theories (from French writers, mostly, I believe) can be applied in
community
research that might actually answer a question about subjectivity.
Question: What should he read?
I have started reading Judith Butler and am not sure if I will
find
the
answer to
his question there, but with 1-2 3 hour sessions a day, I will not
find out
by
Friday.
Gobble gobble.
Can you help Ignacio and me with his question? Please?
