Subject and Power Notes
Obvious double use of the word 'subject' - Person under authority and a distinct topic for exploration
Three main processes of turning a subject to an object:
1) process where the subject is rationalized or scientifically categorized. Objectifies everything, including life itself.
2) dichotomizing everything - mad/sane ; criminals / law-abiding
3) Individuals then do this to themselves.
Rationality determines concepts in modernity: sexuality, psychiatry, science, art, architecture, etc...
Heterotopia - society and culture have power over the subject; define the subject by differentiating him from general society.
Post Modernism - Deals with realitivism, skepticism.
According to the Postmodern Worldview, the Western world society is an outdated lifestyle disguised under impersonal and faceless bureaucracies. The postmodernist endlessly debates the modernist about the Western society needing to move beyond their primitiveness of ancient traditional thought and practices.
Post-structuralism - deconstructs the relationship with the self and the identity it has. questions the role of the signifier and the signified.
