I also have to contend with the problem of agency that Jani Selin is facing.
I'm doing my dissertation in theology, and finding that the feminist ethics
in my field seems to be using "agency" as a synonym for "freedom."
This discussion has been extremely helpful for me. Thanks especially to
Serif Onur Bahcecik for the link to the Zizek article and to Thomas lord for
turning the question itself around.
