The aim of this short writing is to present complications and resolutions within the Žižekian theory of interpassivity through his own discussions and apply it to a modern context of popular cultural inclination. The selected chapters for this analysis from Žižek are “The Interpassive Subject” of How to Read Lacan (2006), “The Real and Its Vicissitudes” of Looking Awry (1998), and “Why is Woman a Symptom of Man?” of Enjoy Your Symptom! (2001). The synthesized analysis highlights the internal mechanism of performance through the Žižekian concepts of sacrifice and guilt. Then I move on to present how this tri-layered structure of the theory further explicates a particular modern cultural pattern. Here, I introduce the modern culture of flow in Jay Bolter's book The Digital Plentitude (2019). Bolter's reading of flow (in a Csikszentamihalyian sense) in consuming the twenty-first digital media traverses the Freudian theory of the fort-da game and lands on the explored concept of interpassivity with this nature of over-activity. This theoretical analysis that reveals flow as a necessary vice, or a vicious necessity, expects to substantiate the academic ambivalence towards this particular experience as either/both creative immersion or/and an escapist addiction.
