G'day,

In a book I have just read, Lyotard is cited:

A self does not amount to much, but no self is an island; each exists in a
fabric of relations that is now more complex and mobile than ever before.
(TPC 15)

The book is on post-social social relations and focuses on mobilities. This
little piece of text is interesting as it introduces the context around
which the 'self' (whatever that is) is constituted is that which is mobile.
Not some version of agency, but the meaningful differences that make up the
embedded spaces are mobile.

Are you looking specifically at marked bodies in the work of Lyotard, or
marked bodies in general? Some feminist writings might be more useful as
they explicitly deal with marked bodies and issues of subjectification. I
could find some references if you want them.

I didn't want your post to be ignored, but I don't know of any place where
Lyotard uses the terminology of marked/unmarked and he doesn't really
discusss issues of race. The closest might be his early Political Writings
on the war in Algiers.

Maybe if you expanded a little more we could discuss this further.
