I will commence by stating “the problem”; my familiarity with it dates back to 2015, when I left the State University of New York at Buffalo to study creative writing at the University of Texas, El Paso, where I currently teach. Coming from an academic field, trained in philosophy and literary theory, I took the word “creative” (this new category that I was in principle authorized to use) as a new symbolic stamp in my writing passport. This diplomatic stamp granted me the right to a certain immunization from the restrictions of tedious quotations, MLA format, and certain creative tolls of having to pay to be published. There is probably no need to say that academic writers also use creativity, and some actively search for a style; they also need images, metaphors, and literary techniques. And insofar as they like having readers, they are concerned with the attractiveness, elegance, and clarity of their writing.

One such contradiction inheres to the term subject itself in what are seemingly two distinct modes or meanings: subject as subordinated and beholden to an external authority on the one hand, and subject as the proper agent of self-determination on the other. It is the positionality, the relational “beneathness” designated by the term sub-ject, that allows for these diametrically opposed meanings. The first meaning, subject as subordination, translates the Latin subjectus (lying below), synonymous with subditus or being subjugated to a higher authority. The other meaning, subject as autonomous agent, translates the Latin subjectum (foundation or subject of a proposition), which in turn translates Aristotle’s
