Object of Becoming

Admittedly, the distinction between canonization and demonization is a precarious one. Let us say, tentatively, that to be canonized is to be located subjacent to an object of becoming - the Best Friend, for example - and that to be demonized is to be invoked as an object of becoming.

But the object as such is not inert. The canonized individual is possessed by it. The demonized individual possesses other individuals.
