Paper Title
National Economy of Subjectivation in a Swedish Nineteenth Century Novel

Abstract
The paper “National economy of subjectivation in a Swedish nineteenth century novel” analyses the novel The Neighbours: A story of every-day life, written by Swedish feminist Fredrika Bremer,as an economy of power, one in which national subjects are produced as part of a collective. Subjectivation is looked upon the way in which Étienne Balibar perceives the citizen becoming a subject. Functioning dialectically as both subjugation and agency, the subject is both a concrete private individual and a national subject. The paper suggests that the formation of such a communal being takes place in The Neighbours. Keywords: - Citizen subject, Power economy, Apparatus, Fredrika Bremer, Liberalism.
