CHAPTER

The Importance of Inter-Passivity

We no longer know how to mourn properly. We just have neurotic private ceremonies, confessional experiences and so on. This agents is what LaCon calls big other, the social substance. And it's extremely important. I would like to remind you maybe some of the notion elevated by my good friend, author and philosopher Robert Fowler,. What is inter-passivity? Something beautiful, I think. Remember so-called whippers. These were inter-ditional societies. Women paid to cry for you, to do the mourning for you. It's beautiful. You can stay at home, watch pornography, whatever. If your father dies, no, you are doing the mourning through others.
