subjugation

is that level of continuous and uninterrupted processes which subject our bodies, govern our gestures, dictate our behaviors. It concerns how subjects are gradually, progressively, really and materially constituted through a multiplicity of organisms, forces, energies, materials, desires, thoughts, etc.

Let us ask. . . how things work at the level of on-going subjugation, at the level of those continuous and uninterrupted processes which subject our bodies, govern our gestures, dictate our behaviors, etc. . . .we should try to discover how it is that subjects are gradually, progressively, really and materially constituted through a multiplicity of organisms, forces, energies, materials, desires, thoughts, etc. We should try to grasp subjection in its material instance as a constitution of subjects. Michel Foucault

is not possible without subjugating oneself as well.

To subjugate another is to subjugate yourself.
