The Politics of Our Selves: Power, Autonomy, and Gender in Contemporary Critical Theory - New Directions in Critical Theory 1st edition
Amy Allen
Argues that the capacity for autonomy is rooted in the power relations that constitute the self. This work analyzes power, including the complicated phenomenon of subjection, without giving up on the ideal of autonomy. It shows how the self can be both constituted by power and capable of an autonomous self-constitution.
