Abstract

The main purpose of this paper is to explore the nature of subjectivity in today's uneven neoliberal sphere in the social life of the Iranian frontiers, and in particular the city of Baneh. Accordingly, in the context of an ethnographic narrative in the city of Baneh in Iran-Iraq border the encounter of local culture and global neoliberal market is investigated. We aim to investigate the way in which subjectivity is constructed and articulated amid the encounters of frontier city of Baneh with both neoliberal economic space and political sphere of Iran. The methodology of this paper is a combination of ethnography and local autobiographies. Our narration from the ethnograpy of the mentiond enconters clarifies that there is not a universal pattern in world or even in a particular country, and to explore in this area of study is to explore in specific dimensions of the experience. In the uneven social space of Iran and specifically Baneh, subjectivity amid the social, political, economic and cultural fields acquire a life full of conjunctures, fortunes and misfortunes. Subjectivity is niether free and autonomous nor fluid or synthetic, but fragile and vulnerable. Neoliberal and market components and governmental relations in its particular form in Baneh city have entered the realm of individuals' lives, family life and other social relationship, constructing fragile individual; cultural and social destabilization of symbolic life, changes in social norms and cultural values, commodification of human relationships and ultimately constructing a Fragile Subjectivity between the market and the state.
