Subjectivity, the Outside and the city: rethinking subject, space and materiality

Abstract

The Kantian philosophy by introducing time as the main operator of subjectivity production, assumes space as passive and mechanical. We propose to think a subject made up of spatial externalities and active and nonlinear materials. Starting from the idea of the Outside in Deleuze and Foucault, and theories of “extended cognition”, we explore “a distributed subjectivity”, in which the subject is not composed only of his own body or interior, but also by the materiality, space and non-humans. We approach the externalization processes that make subjectivity to rethink the relationship between city and distributed subjectivity, abandoning the idea of a circulation space of subjects, to compose assemblages that mix subjectivity and city and indiscernible compound.
