Sažetak
Olaf Stapledon (1886–1950) is a British science-fiction writer and social philosopher, whose two great novels – Last and First Men (1930) and Star Maker (1937) – challenge assumptions about the way modernist subjectivity is created through the tension between individuality and community. For Stapledon, the interiority of an individual is not seen as separate from the sense of a larger community. For individual subjectivity to flourish, it must be part of a dispersed community, which is spread throughout the cosmos. In fact, this community is not a passive tapestry on which individual identity is weaved ; rather, it actively participates in the formation of subjectivity.
