Description
Donald E. Hall explores the history of theories of selfhood from the Classical era to the present, examining how these theories can be applied in literary and cultural criticism.
The book delves into major methodologies and theoretical emphases of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, including psychoanalytic criticism, materialism, feminism, and queer theory. Hall applies these theories to detailed readings of literary and cultural texts, from novels and poetry to film and visual arts.
Subjectivity offers a unique perspective on our current obsession with perfecting ourselves, as well as a look at the future of selfhood in light of emerging technologies. This book is an essential introduction to a crucial critical term and challenges how we define ourselves.
