In the double meaning that characterises the concept of subjectivation, it stands for the - discursively mediated - process in which the 'subject' is produced and in this production is already subjected to the normative specifications of the social (cf. Foucault 1994, Butler 2001). In the form of subjectifications, discursively conceived designs or ideas of 'normality' unfold their materialising force, not only by designing and socially producing things and objects of knowledge and social reality in a certain way, but also and centrally by (making) subjects out of individuals (cf. Althusser 1977: 140), who literally embody the social order to which they owe themselves. Through the mechanism of subjectivisation, normatively charged discourses therefore succeed decisively and sustainably in "aligning complex contexts in such a way that they prefigure the actions of those who move within this field of force 'independently', as it were" (Rieger-Ladich 2004: 211), i.e. that the subjects - produced in the sense of order - "function in it all by themselves [...]" (Althusser 1977: 148). Projects that can be located in this area ask in particular about modes of subjectivation in migration society (cf. Mecheril & Rose 2014; Butler 2014b), i.e. how individuals become subjects in and by means of border formations that exhibit or acquiredifferential, different migration society-related capacities for action, self-understandings and critical competences (cf. Alkemeyer/Budde/Freist 2013; Alkemeyer 2014; Kunz/Schwenken 2014; Querfurt 2015).
