collective subjectivity

Collective subjectivity refers to the shared perceptions, beliefs, and emotions that a group of people hold collectively, shaping their common understanding of a situation or issue. It emerges from social interactions, cultural norms, and shared experiences, influencing how individuals within the group interpret events and respond accordingly. This collective mindset can impact public opinion, social behavior, and decision-making, acting almost like a group’s “mind,” even though it’s formed from many individual perspectives. In essence, it’s the way a group “thinks” and “feels” together, influencing their collective actions and attitudes.
