Abstract: In CR&R 63ff., Marcuse connects his notion of the new sensibility with the analysis of the early Marx on the liberation of the senses; his conception is also influenced by Schiller's conception of aesthetic education.5.For an argument parallel to mine developed through an engagement-with French feminism and poststructuralism, see Kelly Oliver, Subjectivity without Subjects (New Jersey: Rowman and Littlefield, 1998).Oliver provides an extended argument that we can talk about subjectivity (and agency) without presupposing or needing.asubject, claiming that subjectivity does not necessarily imply a "subject" and that we are better off without such a concept.She develops notions of subjectivity as relational and intersubjective at its "center" and contrasts varying discourses and forms of masculine and feminine subjectivity.This project is parallel, I suggest, to Marcuse and the Frankfurt School, disclosing a surprising affinity between Critical Theory, French feminism, and poststructuralism.
