Citizen’s subjectness as a prerequisite for formation of political field

Abstract

The article describes the phenomenon of citizen’s subjectness, an analysis of the conditions of its emergence and role in the formation of the political field. The author considers the importance of formal civil rights, empowerment and mobilizing actors to ensure the subjectivity of the individual. The empirical evidence (interviews, data of included observation and linguistic statistical analysis of texts) illustrates the possibilities of using theoretical ideas of the «political field», «power zone», «proto-political field» for studying political processes in contemporary Russia.
