Сергей Гладков – The Subject as a Process of Stabilizing Experience (страница 5)

What the Model Explains at the Minimal Level

At the minimal level, the model explains why the subject should not be thought of as a thing, while nevertheless not disappearing as a problem. If there is experience that is lived as belonging to someone, the form of this belonging has to be explained. If there are actions that are included in one's own history, the connection between action and self-reference has to be explained. If there are changes through which recognizability of oneself is preserved, continuity without an unchanging core has to be explained.

The model also explains why subjectivity can be partial and heterogeneous. Not all elements of experience are integrated to the same degree. Some states are easily included in self-description, others are experienced as alien, still others remain unclear, and a fourth group returns as a recurring task. If the subject is not a ready-made entity but a process of maintaining coherence, such heterogeneity becomes not an exception, but part of the object of analysis.

In addition, the model explains why external and social forms are not secondary. If experience is maintained through a system of relations, then notes, conversations, documents, roles, practices, places, and stable relationships can participate in stabilization. They do not become an independent subject and do not erase the bodily boundaries of the human being. But they can support processes of memory, attention, obligation, and self-description.
