Rediscovering the «Subject» in Post-Foucauldian Era of Conceptualization

In contrast to classical theory of the subject, the present state of its theory and concept can be described more from standpoint of activity and processual approach, rather than a "statical" viewpoint: becoming subject is more important than to be subject; to resist, to elude from standardized practices, social procedures, symbolic signification by social institutions – an indispensable condition in attempt to become the subject: «Run Lola Run».

Huge role in this process of subjectivation plays phenomenon of "becoming" – a key concept of late post-modernism (Deleuze, Guattari). In classical theory of formation of subject we are talking about stages and phases that an individual passes to become himself or to become just function of any social organization. Today, "becoming" becomes meaningful in itself as a process of subjectivation. Becoming is valuable in itself and not these species of status and existence which it binds. Goals of becoming contained in itself. Being the subject – is constantly being on the «line of flight» (Deleuze).

But how is possible an infinite becoming the subject? Well, in situations when individual is open to "event" (Badiou). Event always occurs suddenly and often is opposed to historically legitimized social practices and discourses. To respond to an event means to abandon familiar and historically legitimized forms of interpretation and action, it means to oppose to them. Separating yourself from old, pronouncing new – is condition of subjectivation. Therefore, the subject, following event, in the process of formation of a new himself, invents new arguments in discourses and new types of social action. To pronounce his own discourse, to act in unexpected direction, to try to make a new and non-standard, to rebel against symbolic and powerful suppression (Kristeva, Zhizhek) – such position about subject we can find in late post-structuralism after Foucault.
