Abstract

This paper analyses the processes of subjectivation in the horizon of the transformations of capitalism in its neoliberal stage, focusing in its social effects. It reflects on the crisis of the subject and reconsiders the critique of the concept of subject within the traditions of critical social theory. Its considerations are led by some questions which mainly refer to the individual?s capacity for emancipatory action; these questions are addressed to Critical Theory in dialogue with poststructuralism.
