In late modernity we observe a relocation of places of conflict: the higher locus of resistance against subjection and dominion seems to reside in the “personal subject”. An exponentially increasing number of women and men react to contemporary civilization by choosing Body-Mind-Spirit practices in which women and men can find resources for a claimed subjective-life, coping and opposing the dominant Western economic-cultural orientations. A turning point, necessary for the reconstruction of subjectivity and self-determined life which has to do with states of consciousness, emotions, sensations, feelings, ethos and involvement in social matters.

Abstract
In late modernity we observe a relocation of places of conflict: the higher locus of resistance against subjection and dominion seems to reside in the “personal subject”. An exponentially increasing number of women and men react to contemporary civilization by choosing Body-Mind-Spirit practices in which women and men can find resources for a claimed subjective-life, coping and opposing the dominant Western economic-cultural orientations. A turning point, necessary for the reconstruction of subjectivity and self-determined life which has to do with states of consciousness, emotions, sensations, feelings, ethos and involvement in social matters.
