“[...] in the relationship between the subject’s love and ethics, we will find the basis for what Lacan teaches us about passions.

Tender, aggressive, tyrannical, obsessive passion that would not exist without the most intimate, yet extimate, neighbour, is how Lacan advanced early Freudian enterprise to the point of symptom formation.

From love as a condition of speech, to passion as a symptom, as a human ‘nature’ that stings the subject no matter what, because it is stronger than him –yes, to work with the symptom, to identify with the symptom can also imply to work, to love, to hate, and to ignore with passion.

Passion is what is left of being, a remainder of the body’s real that does not leave the signifier in peace because it comes from the body of speech.”
