DOI: 10.1177/1463499605050867 Subjectivity and cultural critiqueColumbia University, USA, sbo3{at}columbia.edu In the many works that try to bring back the actor in some sense, there is a tendency to avoid questions of subjectivity, that is, complex structures of feeling (in Raymond Williamss phrase). This article returns to the work of Max Weber and Clifford Geertz to consider various issues of subjectivity, including both fundamental existential anxieties, and specific cultural and historical constructions of consciousness. The article concludes with a rereading of several recent texts on postmodern consciousness as a specific configuration of anxieties, tied in turn to formations of late capitalism.
Key Words: anxiety consciousness late capitalism structures of feeling subjectivity
