ABSTRACT

With the understanding of what a formal theory of Articulation implies, we revisit issues of representation to answer the question of how a subject can appear under different identities in different contexts and yet remain the same subject across those contexts. How can an entity be considered a continuous phenomenon and yet when observed appears discretely defined in possible contradiction to some other identifiable instance? Through our discussion in this chapter, we attempt to give a formal definition of subject continuity, how a subject can project context appropriate identities and yet remain the same subject across contexts.
