Splitting the Subject and the Self, or: Who Are I?
"A subject is at least a thousand people.
This is why I never ask myself 'who am I?', I ask myself 'who are I?'. [...] Who can say who I are, how many I are, which I is the most I of my I's?"
Hélène Cixous, Preface to The Hélène Cixous Reader, 1994.
Mind-boggling...
What exactly is a self? If you split a self, are there several entire selves, or just 'split' ones?
