BASTOS, Luciene Maria. Subjetividade e coisificação: um estudo introdutório. Linhas Críticas [online]. 2007, vol.13, n.25, pp.203-218. ISSN 1981-0431.

The historical context of modernity weaves new dimensions of the constitution of men and society. The moment brings in its essence the emblematic mark of the rising of the subject, which tends to stimulate the possibility of emancipation and elucidation. However, as the illuminist promise of autonomy cannot be accomplished, the awareness movement results in alienation of human consciousness, which leads to a receding subjectivity and consequently, a fragile one. An individual based on self-reasoning that tends to thoughtlessness and automatism, to a state of res, of thing, ends up being consolidated. This paper aims to provide a preliminary analysis of the elements that make possible this kind of subjectivity.

Keywords : Subjectivity; Objectification; Consciousness.
