Colin,

Something about this comment of yours struck me:

"Nor, do I accept the claim that in order to be a unified subject I must
supress the otherness within me. I am the otherness within me. Without this
otherness I would not be me. The very idea that we can supress this
otherness betrays a commitment to the very unified "in control" subject
that is been denied whilst being affirmed."

Does the idea you are countering come down to trying to explain
subjectivity by saying we consist of bundles of discrete selves?  The self
as a bundle of selves?  That is like trying to explain perception by
supposing we have a little person inside us who watches retinal images.
Please tell me pomos are not dressing up that stupid idea in fancy clothes!

Louis Irwin
