"This project aims to analyse how corporations are given existence and legitimacy as subjects through similarities and analogies as well as delineations from human subjects and states. The project holds that a central part of the existence and power of corporations is not only their status as legal persons, but that they are ascribed existence and legitimacy as subjects through notions of individuality, personhood, identity, property, rights, citizenship, responsibility, liability and accountability."
The research project Corporate Subjects: An Intellectual History of the Corporation, based at Copenhagen Business School, hosts a workshop in December 2023 on the intellectual history of the corporation. The workshop is aimed at working towards the publication of an edited volume.
