Without seduction by the atopic Other, which sparks erotic desire, thinking withers into mere work, which always reproduces the Same. Calculating thought lacks the negativity of atopia. It is work on the positive. No negativity inspires disquiet or unrest in it.

In contrast, love as an event—as a “Two scene”—is dehabitualizing and denarcissifying. […] Eros manifests itself as the revolutionary yearning for an entirely different way of loving and another kind of society. Thereby, it remains faithful to what is yet to come.

When borders and thresholds vanish, fantasies of the Other disappear too.
Without the negativity of thresholds or threshold-experiences, fantasy withers. The contemporary crisis in literature and the arts stems from a crisis of fantasy: the disappearance of the Other. This is the agony of eros.

Desire is not “rationalized” today by increasing opportunities for, and criteria of, choice. Instead, unchecked freedom of choice is threatening to bring about the end of desire. Desire is always desire for the Other. The negativity of privation and absence nourishes it. As the object of desire, the Other escapes the positivity of choice.

However, nudity that is displayed without secrecy or expression approaches pornographic bareness. What is more, the pornographic face says nothing. It has no expressivity or mystery. […] In contrast, the erotic is never free of secrecy.
