Abstract
As scholars have reconsidered early scholarship on affective contagion and immaterial forms of communication, there has been a renewed interest in Freud’s work on suggestion, telepathy and transference. This article will employ Mikkel Borch-Jacobsen’s critique of Freud to develop an alternative account of the relation between affect and subjectivity. I will argue that the performative identification or affective mimesis found in both the rapport of suggestion and the psychoanalytic transference creates and dislocates affect even in the absence of the hypnotist or doctor.
