Autophobia marks figures who both embody and persecute their own hated identity.

Evidence

Ibn Warraq is a curious case of a man who both personifies and persecutes the object of his loathing: he is the Muslim he abhors, the object of his own hatred. He takes particular pleasure in the admiration of racist Americans and Europeans, for within it dwells their hatred for Muslims and for Ibn Warraq himself, reflecting his own. … Autophobia—the affliction affecting the person who is both the subject and the object of his own hatred—assumes a more convoluted character when he offers himself as a person in absentia, a pseudonym. — Hamid Dabashi, Brown Skin, White Masks, 428

Categorization

• DEFINE: Dabashi coins ‘autophobia’ as subject-and-object self-hatred — a precise psychiatric-style term for a social phenomenon.
• QUESTION: The autophobia concept could be tested against other cases — Salman Rushdie, Ayaan Hirsi Ali — as a genuinely transferable mechanism worth chasing.
