a little Massumi

When I think of my body, and ask what it does to earn that name, two things stand
out. It moves. It feels. In fact, it does both at the same time. It moves as it feels, and it
feels itself moving. Can we think a body without this; an intrinsic connection between
movement and sensation, whereby each immediately summons the other?
