Preferred term

maternal subjectivities  

Definition

  • The conjunction “maternal” and “subjectivity” produces multiple reverberations and meanings. Subjectivity itself is a contested term, one that overlaps with, and yet remains distinct from, notions of identity, individuality, personhood, and self.
