  • Recent Advances in Feminist Science and Technology Studies: Reconceptualizing Subjectivity and Knowledge
    At the Center: Feminism Social Science and Knowledge, 2015
    Co-Authors: Landon Schnabel, Lindsey Breitwieser
    Abstract:

    Abstract Purpose The purpose of this chapter is to bring three recent and innovative feminist science and technology studies paradigms into dialogue on the topics of Subjectivity and knowledge. Findings Each of the three frameworks – feminist postcolonial science and technology studies, queer ecologies, and new feminist materialisms – reconceptualizes and expands our understanding of Subjectivity and knowledge. As projects invested in identifying and challenging the strategic conferral of Subjectivity, they move from Subjectivity located in all human life, to Subjectivity as indivisible from nature, to a broader notion of Subjectivity as both material and discursive. Despite some methodological differences, the three frameworks all broaden feminist conceptions of knowledge production and validation, advocating for increased consideration of scientific practices and material conditions in feminist scholarship. Originality This chapter examines three feminist science and technology studies paradigms by comparing and contrasting how each addresses notions of Subjectivity and knowledge in ways that push us to rethink key epistemological issues. Research Implications This chapter identifies similarities and differences in the three frameworks’ discussions of Subjectivity and knowledge production. By putting these frameworks into conversation, we identify methodological crossover, capture the coevolution of Subjectivity and knowledge production in feminist theory, and emphasize the importance of matter in sociocultural explorations.

  • The question of Subjectivity in three emerging feminist science studies frameworks: Feminist postcolonial science studies, new feminist materialisms, and queer ecologies
    Women's Studies International Forum, 2014
    Co-Authors: Landon Schnabel
    Abstract:

    Synopsis This paper explores the question of Subjectivity, of who or what counts as a subject, bringing three feminist science studies frameworks into dialogue: feminist postcolonial science studies, new feminist materialisms, and queer ecologies. As critical frameworks, each challenges Western modernity and marginalizing exceptionalisms, hierarchies, and binaries, calling for a more inclusive Subjectivity. However, they diverge on whether they seek to finish the humanist project and extend Subjectivity to all humans or move to post-humanism and question the very notion of Subjectivity. Feminist postcolonial science studies challenges the Western/Non-Western divide of Subjectivity, queer ecologies challenges the human/non-human divide, and new feminist materialisms challenges the life/nonlife divide. In their calls for greater inclusivity, the frameworks move expansively from Subjectivity located in all human life, to Subjectivity in all life, to Subjectivity—if there is such an individually located thing—in matter. I argue that bringing these perspectives into dialogue is useful methodologically and politically.

  • the topic of Subjectivity in psychology contradictions paths and new alternatives
    Journal for The Theory of Social Behaviour, 2017
    Co-Authors: Fernando Gonzalez Rey
    Abstract:

    This paper draws a picture of how topics related to Subjectivity have appeared in different psychological theories, such as psychoanalysis, Gestalt and post-structuralist approaches, discussing in depth a specific proposition from a cultural-historical standpoint. I argue that, in most of these theories, Subjectivity has been used to refer to specific processes and phenomena without advancing a more general theory about it. The way in which Subjectivity was treated within the Cartesian/Enlightenment tradition, taken together with the individualistic tradition of psychology, led critical psychological theories to reject the concept. In this way, such critical theories have omitted the heuristic value of Subjectivity to study processes that can neither be exhausted by language, nor by discourse. A new proposal of Subjectivity is highlighted, based on the cultural-historical tradition in psychology. From this perspective, Subjectivity is defined by units of emotions and symbolical processes generated throughout human experience. On the basis of such definition, I discuss how institutionalized orders can be subverted by subjective productions that represent new social pathways. Far from being a remnant of Modernity, in this way Subjectivity is defined as a human production, capable of transcending the apparent objective limits of human existence.

  • a new path for the discussion of social representations advancing the topic of Subjectivity from a cultural historical standpoint
    Theory & Psychology, 2015
    Co-Authors: Fernando Gonzalez Rey
    Abstract:

    This article discusses a new approach to Subjectivity from a cultural-historical standpoint and the possible links that this new definition could have with the theory of Social Representation (SR). One of the facets of this cultural-historical approach to Subjectivity that makes this dialogue with SR theory possible is that Subjectivity in this definition does not constrain individual phenomena. Rather, Subjectivity as it is defined in this paper is a new ontological definition of human phenomena, whether social or individual, that brings into light the symbolical-emotional character of human phenomena. The concepts that shape Social Representation Theory as subjective configurations are discussed, as well as the consequences of this definition for the development of psychological theory. Social representation, as is assumed within the present paper, might be considered an important building block for the further advancement of a definition of Subjectivity that is not exhausted by individual Subjectivity.

  • opinionfinder a system for Subjectivity analysis
    Empirical Methods in Natural Language Processing, 2005
    Co-Authors: Theresa Wilson, Janyce Wiebe, Paul Hoffmann, Swapna Somasundaran, Jason S Kessler, Yejin Choi, Claire Cardie, Ellen Riloff, Siddharth Patwardhan
    Abstract:

    OpinionFinder is a system that performs Subjectivity analysis, automatically identifying when opinions, sentiments, speculations, and other private states are present in text. Specifically, OpinionFinder aims to identify subjective sentences and to mark various aspects of the Subjectivity in these sentences, including the source (holder) of the Subjectivity and words that are included in phrases expressing positive or negative sentiments.

  • word sense and Subjectivity
    Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Janyce Wiebe, Rada Mihalcea
    Abstract:

    Subjectivity and meaning are both important properties of language. This paper explores their interaction, and brings empirical evidence in support of the hypotheses that (1) Subjectivity is a property that can be associated with word senses, and (2) word sense disambiguation can directly benefit from Subjectivity annotations.

  • feminist Subjectivity, watered
    Feminist Review, 2013
    Co-Authors: Astrida Neimanis
    Abstract:

    Responding to Rosi Braidotti's call for more ‘conceptual creativity’ in thinking through contemporary feminist Subjectivity, this paper proposes the figuration of the body of water . It begins with a critical materialist enhancement of Adrienne Rich's concept of a politics of location, followed by a schematised description of the various ‘hydro-logics’ in which our bodies partake. The ways in which these logics already inform diverse modes of feminist scholarship are then explored. The objective of this paper is to locate, at the confluence of these discourses and descriptions, an invigorated figuration of the feminist subject as body of water . This subject is posthumanist and material, both real and aspirational. Most importantly, she is responsively attuned to other watery bodies—both human and more-than-human—within global flows of political, social, cultural, economic and colonial planetary power.
