Faced with this kind of "no action" mourning repeatedly recently, it should be recorded.
A form of idolatry often begins with the repeated mourning of the living: while the living is alive, it is assumed that the presence of the dead is a false emptiness, and the last word is considered a gift from the dying, a gift, given by This shadow warrior finally embarked on the road of replacing the monarch from the physical and political level. This is an act of recognizing Mayakovsky’s poetic imagery. The deceased leader is made into a statue. The statue itself is a symbol of idolatry. It erases the revolutionary radicality of the leader itself. A reversion to radicality, that is, "to take an additional power from the dead against the living itself" (Derrida). This removes the special floating status of the dying, and the dead, in an ethic of "faire œuvre", and shows that mourning is a ritual excluded from productivity.
But the statue is, after all, an iconography, a powerless simulation, especially when it has to live in a community. Only the image can reveal the face directly to itself, penetrating the overlapping complex with light, identifying where the heterogeneity of the two lies. For example, in the Noh drama that replaced the mass mourning ceremony after the death of Takeda Shingen, the mask, as a retelling face, pointed out to the viewer its own body—a signifier that cannot be highly simulated, so that mourning really hides Occurs at the shadow warrior in the dark part of the auditorium. Unproductive and unproductive mourning marks death, and the "complete death" presented by the clear image is irreducible.
