A propos de cet article

Paperback. An essay about politics, humility, and lossYou are a loser. For psychoanalysis, this isnt a personal slight, but an impersonal truth. So why have we come to fear losing?Loser was Donald Trumps favourite insult within a hotly contested field. But while progressives disdain his divisive politics, they have mostly failed to challenge meritocratic values that divide society into winners and losers. How might we truly escape our toxic political culture?In this powerful, wide-ranging essay, psychoanalyst and critic Josh Cohen suggests that the answer may lie in a notion of humility. Far from a sentimental moral virtue, humility may well be the most elusive, precarious, and indeed radical value of all, one which relies upon a full-hearted embrace of ones inner loser. Enlisting the help of a cast of unlikely comrades Thomas Bernhard, Franz Kafka, and Robert Walser Cohen shows how we might move beyond a culture based on enforced positivity, resentment, and humiliation.PraiseJosh Cohen has made perhaps the most pernicious, offensive and distracting word in the English language of amazing and illuminating interest. This is a remarkable and clarifying book. Adam PhillipsWith compassion, skill and verve, Josh Cohen eloquently dismantles societal and personal delusions about winning and losing. This is exactly the conversation we need to be having right now. Deborah LevyEloquent, urgent, this breath-taking essay, bristles with wit and analytic understanding. Our social settlements, our lying politicians, our very language of winners and losers has never undergone this kind of rigorous dissection before. A tour de force or should I say a losers triumph Lisa AppignanesiJosh Cohens Losers feels necessary: a profound meditation and an ethical salve for a world that wounds us with its increasing ethos of success-at-any-cost. With gentleness, he guides us through the paradoxes of humility, uncertainty, neutrality, and the excess of shame and humiliation that lurks behind todays peculiar brand of triumphalism.
