"If there is one thread running through the works we have selected for this issue, it is this: 'If you take more than the usual care not to objectify, you won't lose the object the objectification, nor compromise the integrity of your own subjectivity, at least not without assiduous, self-critical aforethought,' (paraphrasing, and extending Marx)" - Sook C. Kong.
