How YOU are 'tied' as a SUBJECT

 

"I am a subject, but my point is that the subject that I am has been formed ambigously."
"How so?"
"One, I have been formed as a subject by someone else, the other, by control and dependence and surveillance and..."
"You as a subject have been formed by the discourses of others?"
"Right and two, I am tied to my own identity  by a ‘conscience’ (whatever that is) or spurious 'self-knowledge'. After all, what I assign as 'knoweldge' is just another discourse. 19th Century knowledge is not the same as 20th Century knowledge. We are all victims of our times.
"You have been reading Foucault again, haven't you?"
"I know he is an arch pedagogue, but I can't put him down."
