Abstract
This introduction to the “Fictional Subjectivities” collection lays out the significance of literature in the study of subjectivities and provides a framework for a literary analysis of subjectivities. It highlights the ability of fiction to present a diversity of subjectivities to readers, who are invited to engage with and experience subjectivities different from theirs while reading a book. It also insists on the importance of a sustained reflection on fiction, as our lives are intertwined with narratives and our subjectivities constructed and reworked by fiction.
