[en] The concept of ‘subjectivation’ is commonly used in the social sciences and
humanities, but its meaning is often less than clear. The paper disambiguates different uses of
subjectivation in poststructuralist sociology and interpretative sociology by showing how they
draw from the terminologies of subjectivity subjection, and subjectness. A relational
framework for the study of subjectivation is introduced, highlighting conceptual concerns in
subjectivation research: affectivity, materiality, and agency, which together allow the authors
to focus on a concept of the “subject of rights”.
