title = "Benveniste and the Periperformative Structure of the Pragmeme",
abstract = "In his attempt to impose a counterintuitive binary on the “personal” pronouns—arguing that the first and second persons “personalize” and the third person “depersonalizes”—{\'E}mile Benveniste creates a cognitive dissonance that drives us to consider a startling observation: that there is a virtual third person that haunts the first and second persons as a “witness” to the performative interactions between the “I” and the “you.” This chapter draws on Eve Sedgwick{\textquoteright}s (Touching feeling: affect, pedagogy, performativity. Duke University Press, Durham, 2003) notion of the “periperformative” to explore the “I-you-they” structure of the pragmeme.",
