Meaning of beselve | Babel Free

Verb CEFR B1

Definitions

To endow with a personhood or self.

transitive

Examples

“One can say "That individual is angry," or "Mr. X is angry," but never "The self is angry." Even though, to be sure, anger involves having a self; it pertains to X as "beselved." We agree with common usage.”
“The mouth is always available for service; the breast is not. So the anticipation is breastdirected. The beselved body in fact lives more outside its literal Habit.”
“Two new words are needed, “enworlded” and “beselved.” To be enworlded is to be beselved. To be beside yourself is to be fully conscious.”
“In Deleuzian terms, the self—beselved body—is a contour map on which are charted the exhilarating lines of desire.”
