Oral Presentation
The embodiment of the Subject relies on the discursivities of the prevailing hegemonic power-knowledge relations, the rhetoric of the foreign other and the deconstruction of identity wherein all of which pose as tension towards the coherence and integrity of the subject and serve as limits to its determinitations of thought, action and judgment. The Subject is subjected to the materiality and ephemerality of its body necessitating the self to experience itself first through these skins, before it experences itself as a Subject.
