Thus do
"The proliferation and diversification of contexts and sites of interaction prevent easy identification of particular subjects with a given, fixed, identity so that the same person is able to shift across subject positions according to circumstances. Thus do discourse, identities and social practice in time–space form a mutually constituting set."
Could you please explain why 'do' is not preceded by a subject?
Is it the technique called inversion?
So, it can be rewritten as follows:
Thus discourse, identities and social practice in time–space (do) form a mutually constituting set.
