The notion of the subject has a long tradition in the fields of psychology, linguistics, philosophy, sociology and cultural studies. Broadly, the subject can be identified with the genesis of desires, feelings, thoughts, and actions 鈥� always modelled by cultural, moral, socioeconomic, psychic and biological discourses. Various schools of thought associate the subject with more specific elements: psychoanalysis emphasises the notions of pulsation, identification and desire, while cultural studies are particularly interested in the subject鈥檚 (dis)connection with power. In the Humanities, the subject has walked a discontinuous path: from the hegemony granted by Descartes鈥� cogito and the rationalist thinkers to the dissolution brought about by post-structuralism. However, in the course of the last decades some aspects of the subject have been restored: as subaltern and gender studies have shown, in discourse, the subject has unfolded as the enunciator who has access to spheres previously vetoed; in technology, the emergence of digital identities has generated new places of enunciation and reception; whereas various disciplines and methodologies such as theories of emotion, posthumanism and animal studies have problematised the limits of humanness. The conference is linked to the research project 'New Subjects in Contemporary Catalan Creation', which focuses on the study of literature without excluding other forms of artistic production.

La noci贸 de subjecte t茅 una llarga tradici贸 en camps com la psicologia, la ling眉铆stica, la filosofia, la sociologia i la cr铆tica cultural. En un sentit ampli, s鈥檌dentifica amb el punt de g猫nesi dels desitjos, els sentiments, els pensaments i les actuacions 鈥攕empre modelat per discursos culturals, morals, socioecon貌mics, ps铆quics i biol貌gics. En un sentit m茅s restringit, les diferents branques del saber associen el subjecte amb elements m茅s concrets: aix铆, si la psicoan脿lisi subratlla nocions com les de pulsi贸, identificaci贸 i desig, en canvi la la cr铆tica cultural s鈥檌nteressa especialment per la seva vinculaci贸 o desvinculaci贸 amb/del poder. En l鈥櫭爉bit concret de les humanitats, el subjecte ha transitat per un cam铆 discontinu que va des de l鈥檋egemonia que li proporcionaren el cogito de Descartes i els pensadors racionalistes fins a l鈥檈sfondrament que pat铆 amb el postestructuralisme. Tanmateix, en les darreres d猫cades s鈥檋a produ茂t una rehabilitaci贸 del subjecte en diferents aspectes: des del punt de vista discursiu, com a enunciador que accedeix a posicions que anteriorment tenien vedat el discurs, i de les quals s鈥檕cupen, per exemple, les teories de la subalternitat i els estudis de g猫nere; des del punt de vista tecnol貌gic, per l'emerg猫ncia d鈥檌dentitats digitals que generen nous llocs d鈥檈nunciaci贸 i de recepci贸; des del punt de vista human铆stic, per la problematitzaci贸 dels l铆mits del concepte d鈥檋umanitat que han plantejat diversos camps disciplinaris i metodol貌gics com les teories de les emocions, les teories del subjecte posthum脿 i els Animal Studies. Aquest congr茅s es vincula al projecte 鈥楴ous subjectes en la creaci贸 catalana contempor脿nia鈥�, que se centra preferentment en l鈥檈studi de la literatura, sense descartar altres formes de creaci贸.
