Interpassivity: the aesthetics of delegated enjoyment
Pfaller, Robert
A radical criticism of current assumptions in the field of cultural theory todayWhy do people record TV programmes instead of watching them? Why are former alcoholics pleased to let other people drink in their place? Why can ritual machines pray in place of believers? Robert Pfaller advances a general theory of interpassivity as the wish for delegated consumption and enjoyment in both art and in everyday life, tackling a vast range of phenomena: culture, art, sports and religion.
