Preferred term

subjectivity  

Definition

  • Subjectivity can be described as the condition of being a person and/or the processes by which we become persons, that is, how we are constituted as subjects and come to experience ourselves. Thus, to ask about subjectivity is to pose the question ‘what is a person?’ and to answer the question is to construct a narrative or story about the self.
