(2018): Li Zehou's notion of subjectality as a new conception of the human self. In: Philosophy Compass 13 (5). DOI: 10.1111/phc3.12484
Abstract: Li Zehou stands among the most influential Chinese philosophers in the post-Mao era. His notion of subjectality(zhutixing) is of paramount importance for current developments in contemporary Chinese philosophy. It belongs to the central concepts in Li's theoretical framework, around which his entire philosophical system is constructed. With his elaboration of this concept, Li expanded the problem of the self in post-revolutionary modernism. The present article analyzes the theoretical bases of this concept, exposes its importance in the scope of contemporary Chinese theory and shows why and how it represents a call for a new humanism. Through a multidimensional comparative perspective, the author also explains why the human subject, which is based upon Li's notion of subjectality, has the potential not only to transform (post-)modern alienation into a real human condition, that is, into spiritually fulfilled society of autonomous individuals but also to fill up the prevailing vacuum of values.

München; Paderborn: Wilhelm Fink
Abstract: Das Subjekt gilt schon lange nicht mehr als Inbegriff der Innerlichkeit. Bereits Hegel griff gegen Kant auf die antike Überlieferung zurück, um zu zeigen, dass Subjektivität nicht einfach »da«, sondern Produkt eines komplexen Bildungsprozesses ist. Autoren wie Althusser, Foucault, Butler und Bourdieu haben diese Einsicht dann unter den Bedingungen des 20. Jahrhunderts wieder aufgenommen und weiter gedacht. Erst die empirischen Erkenntnisse der Ethnologie, Kulturwissenschaft, Erziehungswissenschaft, Ökonomie, Psychologie und Soziologie öffnen den Blick für die gesamte Bandbreite von Techniken der Subjektivierung: für Verfahren der Disziplinierung und Kontrolle, der Intelligenz- und Kompetenzprüfung, des Trainings und der Selbststeuerung.

(2008): Analyzing Multiplicity. A Postmodern Perspective on Some Current Psychoanalytic Theories of Subjectivity. In: Psychoanalytic Dialogues 11 (2), S. 221-251. DOI: 10.1080/10481881109348609
Abstract: Tensions between modernism and postmodernism in psychoanalytic theory and practice are evident in the allegedly "postmodern" view of subjectivity as not unified but plural. Suggesting that a thoroughgoing postmodern clinical practice does not exist at present, I distinguish between U. S. and European models of the postmodern multiple subject and between modern and postmodern varieties of pluralism in the current psychoanalytic theorization of subjectivity in this country, proposing that all such pluralist theories are in fact mixed models. I argue that these theories do not reflect objective, essential traits of selfhood but are complexly shaped by the cultural presuppositions and intrapsychic needs of the analyst; hence attempts to theorize subjectivity with reference to science (including developmental schemas) are problematic, Because a thoroughgoing postmodern pluralism cannot accommodate such concepts as agency and authenticity or a coherent narrative of the treatment process, clinical psychoanalysis, at least at present, inevitably includes major elements of the modernist approach, in which subjectivity is seen as unified. At this time of paradigm shift between modernism and postmodernism, therefore, it is important that pluralists decenter from their theories and respect the continuing influence of modernism on psychoanalytic theory and practice.
