Description
Willful Subjects explores the complex relationship between will and willfulness, examining how these concepts are embedded in a political and cultural landscape. Sara Ahmed delves into philosophical and literary texts to shed light on the ways in which will is embodied and socially mediated.
Ahmed's analysis grounds her work in feminist, queer, and antiracist politics, considering how those who have received the charge of willfulness respond to it. Her study suggests that willfulness might be required to recover from attempts to eliminate it.
