In this paper we start exploring the affective and ethical dimension of what De Jaegher and Di
Paolo (2007) have called ‘participatory sense-making’. In the first part, we distinguish
various ways in which we are, and feel, affectively inter-connected in interpersonal

as well as the implications that taking an ‘inter-(en)active approach’ has for
