Emotion overturns individuated structures only through communal resonance.

Evidence

It is only in a community that emotion can take place as such. And the fact that it can take place signifies that it can be extended in an action on the world. Emotion does not call for an outpouring, but an overturning of individuated structures, which can only be performed communally. […] The transindividual relation passes through individuals, incorporating them into a reality that is larger than them: a system of resonance. Before individuals, there is the preindividual; but beyond, there is the system of resonance. — Yves Citton, The Ecology of Attention, 273
