Classical phenomenology regards the subject as being characterised by consciousness that features intentionality. However, neo-phenomenology rejects this formulation and develops a subject theory based on embodied affects. In other words, in neo-phenomenology, the subject is penetrated and generated by otherness, and so moves with continuous subjectification like a tidal wave ebbing and flowing. Affect introduces a bottomless, infinite sphere of otherness. Therefore, in neo-phenomenology affect can be related to the unconscious of psychoanalysis. A comparative analysis of unconscious characteristics in psychoanalysis revealed three types of unconscious elements in the affect-sphere. From that, we may see a path from neo-phenomenology to psychoanalysis, which can contribute to a new psychoanalytic understanding of the unconscious in the dimension of affect.
