Untrammelled neoliberalism and the inexorable force of production have produced a 21st century crisis of community: a narcissistic cult of authenticity and mass turning-inward are among the pathologies engendered by it. We are individuals afloat in an atomised society, where the loss of the symbolic structures inherent in ritual behaviour has led to overdependence on the contingent to steer identity. Avoiding saccharine nostalgia for the rituals of the past, Han provides a genealogy of their disappearance as a means of diagnosing the pathologies of the present. He juxtaposes a community without communication - where the intensity of togetherness in silent recognition provides structure and meaning - to today's communication without community, which does away with collective feelings and leaves individuals exposed to exploitation and manipulation by neoliberal psycho-politics. The community that is invoked everywhere today is an atrophied and commoditized community that lacks the symbolic power to bind people together. For Han, it is only the mutual praxis of recognition borne by the ritualistic sharing of the symbolic between members of a community which creates the footholds of objectivity allowing us to make sense of time. This new book by one of the most creative cultural theorists writing today will be of interest to a wide readership. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

Los rituales, como acciones simbólicas, crean una comunidad sin comunicación, pues se asientan como significantes que, sin transmitir nada, permiten que una colectividad reconozca en ellos sus señas de identidad. Sin embargo, lo que predomina hoy es una comunicación sin comunidad, pues se ha producido una pérdida de los rituales sociales. En el mundo contemporáneo, donde la fluidez de la comunicación es un imperativo, los ritos se perciben como una obsolescencia y un estorbo prescindible. Para Byung-Chul Han, su progresiva desaparición acarrea el desgaste de la comunidad y la desorientación del individuo.
En este libro, los rituales constituyen un fondo de contraste que sirve para perfilar los contornos de nuestras sociedades. Se esboza, así, una genealogía de su desaparición mientras se da cuenta de las patologías del presente y, sobre todo, de la erosión que ello comporta.
