SLAVOJ ZIZEK citing Deleuze (via slavoj-zizek) http://ift.tt/2aFTo5K

Eros and Thanatos are not two opposite drives that compete and combine their forces (as in eroticized masochism); there is only one drive, libido, striving for enjoyment, and “death drive” is the…space of its formal structure. …Death drive is above all silent (not given in experience). …How can the motif of death which appears to assemble the most negative aspects of the psychic life be in itself what is most positive, transcendentally positive, to the point to affirm repetition? Deleuze writes: “Eros has to be repeated, can be experienced only in repetition, while Thanatos (as the transcendental principle) is that what gives repetition to Eros, what submits Eros to repetition”
