Human subjectivity explores how individuals relate to and know about the world, allowing them not to lose their sense of self. In this article, I address two capacities of human subjectivity, namely preservation and transformation: 1) to illustrate a neoliberal restructuring of subjectivity, which perpetuates the mode of never-ending self-control and performativity, and 2) to pave alternative ways for the curriculum to release the effects of this neurotic repression on subjectivity. Specifically, I use Freud’s understanding of neurosis, which has not received much attention in the previous education literature, together with the modern theory of the economic subject to weave the emergence of neurotic subjectivity in a neoliberal society with its curricular implications. I then argue that the disruptive drive growing from the soil of subjectivity has the potential to challenge neoliberal neurosis through which the dynamics of subjectivity flow from the continuous to the uncharted or creative, moving from the realm of a neoliberal imaginary of self-preservation to the consciousness of intersubjective transformation. This conceptualization of neurotic subjectivity and the death drive lens would offer insight into imagining an alternative curriculum beyond neoliberalism’s instrumental rationality.
