==Definition==
*1. a. Consciousness of one's perceived states.
:b. A conscious being.
*2. a. The quality or condition of viewing things exclusively through the medium of one's own mind or individuality; the condition of being dominated by or absorbed in one's personal feelings, thoughts, concerns, etc.; hence, individuality, personality.
:b. That quality of literary or graphic art which depends on the expression of the personality or individuality of the artist; the individuality of an artist as expressed in his work.
*3. = SUBJECTIVISM 1.
*4. The quality or condition of resting upon subjective facts or mental representation; the character of existing in the mind only.
==Description==
'''Subjectivity''' refers to a [[person]]'s [[perspective]] or opinion, particular [[feelings]], [[belief]]s, and desires. It is often used casually to refer to unsubstantiated personal opinions, in contrast to [[knowledge]] and fact-based [[belief]]s. In [[philosophy]], the term is often contrasted with [[objectivity]].[1]
==Qualia==
'''Subjectivity''' may refer to the specific discerning [[interpretation]]s of any aspect of [[experience]]s. They are [[unique]] to the person experiencing them, the qualia that are only available to that person's [[consciousness]]. Though the causes of experience are thought to be objective and available to everyone, (such as the wavelength of a specific beam of light), experiences themselves are only available to the subject (the quality of the colour itself).
==Social sciences==
In [[social sciences]], subjectivity (the property of being a subject) is an effect of relations of [[power]]. Similar social configurations create similar [[perception]]s, experiences and interpretations of the world. For example, female subjectivity would refer to the perceptions, experiences and interpretations that a subject marked as female would generally have of the world.
