In short, we should consider the sensational experience of the body-in-context. Even before we have the opportunity to generate a discursive response to a situation, the body-in-context is first viscerally involved. Edbauer | (meta)Physical <strong>Graffiti</strong> | 139
S@OME# SPINOZA@ This primacy of affective involvement has perhaps been most thoroughly explained in the philosophy of Spinoza and his interest in the sensing body. Spinoza explicates something he calls the affections of the body, where “the body’s power of activity is increased or diminished, assisted or checked . . .” (104). For Spinoza, a body is never a/lone(ly) body, for one body is always in relation to another. “The human body can be affected in many ways by which its power of activity is increased or diminished," writes Spinoza (104). The relation of affect is not a one-way proposition. A body is affected by another body as much as it affects another body. His sensing body is a body-in-relation.
