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.
