It argues that the former negativity of the Other has been replaced by the positivity of the Same, producing pathological social conditions driven less by repression than by over-communication and over-consumption. It develops the notion that destructive pressure arises from within, linking depression, self-destruction, and the invisibility of violence in modern media-driven

\nThe Terror of the Same  \nThe time in which there was such a thing as the Other isover,The Other as a secret,the Other as a temptation,the Other as eros,the Other as desire,the Other as helland the Other as pain disappear.The negativity of theOther now gives way to the positivity of the Same.Theproliferation of the Same constitutes the pathologicalchanges that afflict the social body.It is made sick not bydenial and prohibition,but by over-communication andover-consumption;not by suppression and negation,butby permissiveness and affirmation.The pathological signof our times is not repression but depression.Destructivepressure comes not from the Other but from within.  \nDepression as internal pressure develops auto-aggressive traits.The depressive performance subject'isas it were beaten down or suffocated by the self.Not onlythe violence of the Other is destructive;the expulsion of  \n1  \nthe Other sets in motion an entirely different process ofdestruction,namely that of self-destruction.In general,thedialectic of violence applies:a system that rejects the nega-tivity of the Other develops self-destructive traits.  \nThe violence of the Same is invisible because of
