Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of paradoxical human behavior, which is expressed in the delegation of one's own pleasure or other personal experience to another. The concept of interpassivity developed by R. Pfaller and S. Žižek The concept of interpassivity, developed by R. Pfaller and S. Žižek, turns out to be directly related to the problem of preserving the subject in conditions where people outsource more and more of their functions, face the fragmentation of their own existence, and fall under the power of temptation to abandon awareness and responsibility. It is concluded that the spread of interpassive forms of behavior is associated with the dictate of activity in the modern experience of subjectivity. Man is forced to increase activity in order to meet the rhythm of life at high speeds. But at the same time, being overloaded with demands, he looks for ways to escape from this kind of pressure. Delegating experience to another is a way of coping with alienation, preserving oneself and asserting one's own subjectivity.
