Despite the silent laughter: towards the question of subjectivity in unstable ontologies

The article represents a research of the theoretical consequences of an event known as “the death of subject”. Reanimation of interest to the concept of subjectivity in unstable ontologies requires understanding of the scope of influence of the Foucault's ideas and the influence of antihumanism of Nietzsche and Althusser on the formation of the contemporary concept of subjectivity. The article is an attempt to make this situation clear through the analysis of different variants of subjectivity conceptualization in the theories of Foucault, Althusser, Deleuze, Butler and Sloterdijk.
