===== Week 6—Social subjects beyond norm and action =====

**Main reading:** Miller (2010)

**Other reading:** Hendriks (2023); Shange (2019)

In this week, we look at a a collection of new ideas about how to think about society and the individual subject. This is not a “key debate in anthropology,” but it is interesting, and it tweaks a few of the ideas and arguments we’ve been discussing. It is a good chance to catch our breath and take stock of the last few weeks before moving on to another concept of the human subject. I will post more notes soon.
