The shift to subjectivity-based politics relocated rather than abandoned the political

Evidence

2 Many writers on sixties and post-sixties politics, most notably Todd Gitlin and Alice Echols, have lamented this shift from society-based to subjectivity-based politics as a loss or abandonment of the political itself. See bibliography, part I. I disagree with their analyses, and view this shift, again, as a relocation, rather than a renunciation, of the political. — Marianne DeKoven, Utopia Limited, 996
