Modern representation rested on two parallel subject-object separations

Evidence

Hegel is able to overcome the separation between subject and object by finding his starting point in a moment when that separation has not yet taken place: in the moment of experience itself, where the subject, still at one with its object, has not yet attained self-consciousness, has not yet learned to distinguish itself as a separate and abstractly independent entity, has not yet been able to draw back and look across a void toward the separate, equally abstract entity of things in themselves. — Fredric Jameson, Marxism and Form, 102 (#complicates, via linked claim)

For this knowledge does not emerge from a new formation of this subject–object gap; instead it arrives in the suspension of that gap. Hence that gap, emerging when the subject separates itself from all its determinations in order to ‘see them coming’ (les voir venir), is neither definitive nor fundamental. Consequently, the end of the gap obviously does not mean the closure of all perspective. On the contrary: this end reveals, in the process of becoming-fluid, a more fundamental mode of occurrence (structure de l’advenir plus originaire) than the rigid and fixed way in which the subject distanced itself from its own determinations, its own accidents. — Catherine Malabou, The Future of Hegel, 1081 (#complicates, via linked claim)
