The ban of the "we" as a subject in texts, is very I-deological.
(As is the ban of the "I" in scientific texts)
It is important to hold on to a notion of we in our collective imagination and our political verbalization. As important as it is to criticize the self-universalizing "we" of dominant social groups. The general vilifacation of a we-subject in texts can only serve a euro-neoliberal politics of individualization, a reinforcement of the ever-annoying notion of the autonomous subject.
We propose a speculative "we". That has a concrete but always incomplete Idea of who belongs to the collective subject. Depending on the text sort, such a "we" might appear as a provocation of thought about who is actually meant (much more than its omission!) or it might be more clear in its self definition to situate positions and to stroke out clearly socio-political antagonisms.
