Subjectification is one of the concepts that [[Michel Foucault]] mentioned in his three modes of objectificaiton. He defined these three modes as [[scientific classification]], [[dividing practices]] and subjectification. The modes are a set of organizing principles that explain how human beings become subjects. Subjectification means that everything is a subject. "Human species, population and fertility become the object of sustained political attention and intervention" (Kramsch, personal communication, 2012). The human body is not approached in a biological way, but as an object to be manipulated and controlled. It is the aim of disciplinary technology to use, transform and improve a human as a subject. == References == Kramsch, O.T.
