330 .. $a How do we become political subjects? Put another way, how do we become actors who
have the power to instigate political change? These are questions that have long vexed
political theorists, particularly feminist and critical race scholars who think about
how to achieve real political transformation. According to postmodern scholars, subjects
are defined only through their relationship to institutions and social norms. But
if we are only political people insofar as we are subjects of existing power relations,
there is little hope of political transformation. To instigate change, we need to
draw on collective power, but appealing to a particular type of subject, whether "working
class," "black," or "women," will always be exclusionary. This issue is a particular
problem for feminist scholars, who are frequently criticized for assuming that they
can make broad claims for all women, while failing to acknowledge their own exclusive
and powerful position (mostly white, Western, and bourgeois). Recent work in political
and feminist thought has suggested that we can get around these paradoxes by wishing
away the idea of political subjects entirely or else thinking of political identities
as constantly shifting. In this book, Claudia Leeb argues that these are both failed
ideas. She instead suggests a novel idea of a subject in-outline. Over the course
of the book Leeb grounds this concept in work by Adorno, Lacan, and Marx - the very
theoriests who are often seen as denying the agency of the subject. Leeb also proposes
that power structures that create political subjects are never all-powerful. While
she rejects the idea of political autonomy, she shows that there is always a moment
in which subjects can contest the power relations that define them. -- from dust jacket
