ETAG grant TF2324 (2025-2026)
This project identifies and investigates models and patterns of subject-formation as represented in Estonia cultural texts and theatre, 1956-1998, through the comparative analysis of fiction, theatre performances, visual art, and life-writing. Fictional and non-fictional models of subjecthood are analyzed as multiscalar, with respect to their local, intimate environments, while being at the same time connected to the global circulation of ideas. Subjects are understood as multirelational, fluid, embodied selves that are in active, constitutive interaction with everything that presents itself to sense and thought.
