It has been repeatedly demonstrated that the resistance offered by the memory of emotional experience may sometimes be so great that it produces a dissociation or splitting of consciousness. Somnambulism is one of the most marked forms of splitting of consciousness that is most liable to occur in the disease hysteria, which is a form of mental dissociation.

From this perspective, Menenius' fable of the belly is clearly fallacious and intended to instill a false state of consciousness in his listeners. The tale deflects the cause of the plebeians hunger from the patricians right back at the plebeians themselves: ... For the dearth, The gods, not the patricians, make it, and Your knees to them, not arms,

Parting with traditional society, modernity represents the triumph of power-knowledge, the divorce between spheres of culture, the global social relations, the
To the ignorant and self-oblivious person, the true individuality of a man’s self is presumed through his ability to possess an apt and socially preferable state of mind. Quite ironic in fact—and if I’m not mistaken—the widespread consensus regarding human identity, is that it is at its most ripe, and fertile upon one’s inevitable decision to conform to the mass. Such logic is somewhat of a paradox-in-itself and if we deconstruct the meaning of the terms ‘conform’ and ‘individuality’ their contrast
Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak Can the Subaltern Speak? An understanding of contemporary relations of power, and of the Western intellectual's role within them, requires an examination of the intersection of a theory of representation and the political economy of global capitalism. A theory of representation points, on the one hand, to the domain of ideology, meaning, and subjectivity, and, on the other hand, to the domain of politics, the state, and the law. The original title of this paper was
