Self and Emotional Life: Philosophy, Psychoanalysis, and Neuroscience · Adrian Johnston & Catherine Malabou · p.196

Theoretical move: The passage argues that Symbolic mediation (entry into language/the big Other) does not merely overlay a pristine biological core self but "transubstantiates" and "desubstantializes" it, producing a split subject ($) whose specifically human affects (anxiety, horror, melancholy) arise precisely from the gap opened by this denaturalization — a gap Johnston refines by insisting that denaturalization is never total but leaves anachronistic natural residues, such that the distinction between S (protoself) and $ (core self) persists as an internal split within $ itself.
this could be described as a sort of immanent structural genesis of transstructural subjectivity
