Outstanding, Cadell; you summarized the challenge well: 'Now that is the real challenge of lifting reproduction to the level of repetition as opposed to reducing repetition to reproduction, or letting repetition undermine reproduction. ' Very well put, and there's a lot here I'm going to think through and write about. Excellent.

Opa! Your comment has given me a lovely window onto Cadell's text, thank you! I was struggling through it late last night but gave way to sleep (the app next door, my OnlyFans infiltrated Instagram, makes late-night screen-being repetition risky).

I'm gathering that Hystericizing the Perverted is today's noble work, so I plan to give the post another read. (I might myself need to become a bit hysterical first though.)

hysteric is not only doing battle with the neurotic Father but also the perverted Father Cadell shows is brilliant.

Yes, it seems we are in a double bind now. But also seems the hysteric Father "boomers/ neoliberalism" has been overcome by this perverted Father stance. The work of hystericizing the perverted father now is a great point

Also this is the first time I have heard the term Trad-porn. gold my friends pure gold.
