subject and subjectivity
Definition
- The couplet subject/subjectivity connotes a multifaceted set of issues addressed in distinctive ways by different schools of human geographic research. Before outlining different approaches to the topic, two broad contexts in which issues around subject/subjectivity become pertinent to human geography can be identified: How human subjects, through their actions and values, actually produce and make meaningful the geographies that we study—and, conversely, how particular subject positions (particular identities, attitudes, and practices) are shaped by wider social, political, cultural, and economic processes, discourses, and structures.
