We want to be someone, so we intimate his/her hair style. produced and made meaningful within a culture
Mirror stage is children recognize not only myself but also separate from myself. By watching other people, I recognize my identity.
Freud: human cannot control perfectly by themselves because of sexual drives, the Oedipus complex, and the unconscious.
We fit our unconscious by our dream
We categorize deviant subject, especially about sex, and try to explain people.
Commoditizing subjectivity means people try to get benefits (exchangeability) by using their subjectivities (socially relevant feature).
How do subjectivities become ideologized?
Our subjectivities are produced within a culture. When we were children, we were taught a lot of things in family, school, and society. We learned and used them without doubting. This means we were naturalized our subjectivities …show more content…
unconsciously. We have believed our cultural identities are common sense. That’s why, our subjectivities have become ideologized unconsciously since we were young. We also might say our ideologies become our subjectivities.
What does Foucault want to say?
His notion is that sexuality is used to produce, regulate, normalize, and evaluate social identities.
1 sex is used to normalize and regulate our behavior and practices by making the notion of deviance and normal (produce)
2 our society regulates abnormal behavior and directs us toward normal behavior (regulate and normalize)
3 sex informs all our actions
4 our sexuality defines ourselves and reshape individuality
5 our society produces knowledge which supports regulation and normalization (evaluate)
What’s the functions of commoditising subjectivity in our life? (How do we use commoditising subjectivity in our life?)

We see the relationship every day and we rely on the relationship. For example, by using their beauty or handsome, people become actors and actresses. By running fast, they become athletes. By Japanese culture, Japan attracts many people and gets money. However, I think sometimes the subjects don’t understand commoditisation. For instance, we try to go watching unfamiliar tribes. The tour company would get money, but the tribes might not. We watch animal circuses. The trainers get benefits, but of course the animals cannot understand commoditisation. People often find different aspects of subjectivity and commoditise
them.
