Description

Subjectivity refers to the way in which personal feelings and opinions of an individual shape someone's judgment rather than outside influences. It is the opposite of objectivity, wherein knowledge is thought to be independent of the subject who creates it. Subjectivity is a social mode that develops naturally from countless interactions within society. According to cultural studies, subjectivity is considered as a cultural construction rather than a timeless and fixed entity. Subjectivity is usually shaped by culture and it also helps in shaping culture. Additionally, it is also influenced by factors such as the economy, communities, political institutions and the natural world. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about the theory and practice of subjectivity. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by it.
