On theories of subjectivity and the practices of political subjectivation
responsiveness, dissent, and the precarious livability of human life
Burkhard Liebsch
pp. 73-96
Liebsch discusses various processes of becoming a human subject, which are taking place by a number of practical means that reflect the originary politicization of human subjects. In this sense, the chapter engages with the question what it means to become visible as a political subject that has not "always' been there as subject. As Liebsch is arguing, the subject's political existence must be proven through the com-passion of social responsiveness that is put at risk by acts of dissent when the livableness of human life with and among others is at stake.
