subjectivity

is a reification of a magical nature, which could only be accomplished with the complicity of the patient himself.

For Foucault, objectivity is a myth, and in psychiatry, 'it was from the start a reification of a magical nature, which could only be accomplished with the complicity of the patient himself.'

is a reification which emerges together with subjectivity in a space set up not by individuals but by social practices.

Foucault is interested in how both scientific objectivity and subjective intentions emerge together in a space set up not by individuals but by social practices' (Dreyfus and Rabinow 108).

is based on a conflation between seeing and knowing.

As Haraway and many other feminist science studies scholars have argued, the privilege accorded the value of objectivity is based heavily on a conflation between seeing and knowing. Detached observation, accurate description, and value neutrality in the pursuit of understandign are the key components of the objectivist epistemology at the heart of modern science (Jordanova 1989... Stafford 19991, 1994 in Franklin 1996:142)

is critical to science studies, a field which tries to turn science into an object of inquiry.

Who believes more in the objectivity of science than those who claim that it can be turned into an object of inquiry'' (Latour 1999:3)

is essentially the subject subjugating the object. One asserts oneself by making oneself the active voice and the object the passive no-voice.

Objectivity is the subject subjugating the object. That is how you assert yourself. You make yourself the active voice and the object is the passive no-voice. Emily Levine

is, in fact, subjective in that it is about particular and specific embodiment and definitely not about the false vision promising transcendence of all limits and responsibility.

Not so perversely, objectivity turns out to be about particular and specific embodiment and definitely not about the false vision promising transcendence of all limits and responsibility.

is located in the activity of science rather than in objects themselves. It is a mathematical activity wherein sequentially rectified concepts converge in an increasing approximation to objective knowledge.

. . . for Bachelard, objectivity is located in the activity of science rather than in objects themselves. As Tiles explains, this is a rational activity grounded in mathematics in which, at both the theoretical and empirical level, a series of sequentially rectified concepts converge in an increasing approximation to objective knowledge.

is not abstracted from, but rather grounded in partiality. Only partial perspective promises objective vision.

. . .. 'objectivity does not abstract from partiality but rather is grounded in it. Haraway's idea of partial positioning, however, must not be confused with identity politics, such as that advocated by feminist standpoint thinking, which demands the knowing subject to identify herself with the marginalized and oppressed or to situate herself as a woman, as Black. . . ' (Prins 1995:357) . . .'Only partial perspective promises objective vision' (Haraway 1991:190).. .
