In his dynamic essay "The Agony of Eros," Byung-Chol Han examines the control of passions in contemporary society as a crucial tool of "taming" and manipulation by the authorities.
Under the weight of this control, people are no longer capable of love and merely indulge their sexuality.
Today, sex is performance, sexuality is capital. Porn is a premonition of dead sex in virtual space, not living sexuality.
A society of burnout, in which people are exhausted within themselves, without the possibility of liberation in relation to the Other, is a society without Eros.
