Teorías contemporáneas del sujeto. De la crítica de la concepción esencialista a las estrategias para resistir el poder

This paper proposes to outline the characteristics acquired by contemporary theories of subject that, from different theoretical conceptions, oppose to essentialist definitions. Without attempting to amalgamate, and taking into consideration the differences between the authors, will develop the concept of the subject in Michel Foucault, Giorgio Agamben and Hannah Arendt. The paper is organized in four sections, even though are presented separately to organize reading, could well have been part of a single whole, because the development of each one is clear from the above problematizations raised. Thus, if the first part is of a negative character, presenting the various criticisms that these authors have formulated about essentialist theories on the subject, the second aims to present knowledge and experience as the central axis through which developed their theories of the subject. The third section examines how the authors warn about the problems that the subject thus conceived faced in the context of power relations, and the last one addressed the possible strategies to resist this power and face it
