1. > A "Self-Touchin g You " > Autoaffection and Self-Touching
Theoretical move: Derrida's deconstruction of autoaffection demonstrates that there is no pure autoaffection: the self-touching structure of subjectivity is always already divided by heteroaffection, such that the "I" is constitutively split by an internal alterity (the "heart of the other"), making autoheteroaffection—not originary self-presence—the real source of all affective life.
Heteroaffection, more exactly autoheteroaffection, is then the real source of all affects.
