In the late nineteenth century William James pieced together a theory of self that is remarkably modern, some might say 'post-modern.' In Chapter X of his magnum opus, The Principles of Psychology (1890), entitled "The Consciousness of Self," James discusses the manifold nature of the self treating it in its native complexity. Among other things, he proposes a notion of identity and experience ...

This analysis comments on Bernstein's lack of clear understanding of subjectivity, based on his book, Beyond Objectivism and Relativism: Science, Hermeneutics, and Praxis. Bernstein limits his interpretation of subjectivity to thinkers such as Gadamer and Habermas. The authors analyze the ideas of classic scholars such as Edmund Husserl and Friedrich Nietzsche. Husserl put forward his notion of...

Contemporary debates around the rising caesarean rates in Australia and in other developed countries focus on issues of risk management and questions of control. There is an additional discussion about modern women’s desires to experience the messy and complex aspects of birth. Using Elaine Scarry’s (1985) idea of pain disassembling subjectivity and the self, this paper begins to consider why p...

Document-level sentiment analysis can benefit from fine-grained subjectivity, so that sentiment polarity judgments are based on the relevant parts of the document. While finegrained subjectivity annotations are rarely available, encouraging results have been obtained by modeling subjectivity as a latent variable. However, latent variable models fail to capitalize on our linguistic knowledge abo...

Using labeled Twitter training data from SemEval-2013, we train both a subjectivity classifier and a polarity classifier separately, and then combine the two into a single hierarchical classifier. Using additional unlabeled data that is believed to contain sentiment, we allow the polarity classifier to continue learning using self-training. The resulting system is capable of classifying a docum...
