This paper attempts to provide evidence for the thesis that the concept of subjectivity is linked to contemporary liberal geoculture, especially new regulation practices and new forms of violence that started to become visible during the 1980s and 1990s. Two conceptualizations of subjectivity will be examined : traditional Marxist accounts, which focus on the notion of interest, and post - structuralist accounts, which emphasize the self - referential character of subjectivity. I will argue that, despite the critical impetus of both traditions, their historical genesis can be traced to the hegemony of North Atlantic liberal ideology. Furthermore, their broad application in the social sciences and in psychology corresponds to the present - day neo - liberal re - organization of societal conditions and the transformation of liberalism to geo culture.
