Libidinal capitalism

About the book Libidinal capitalism (PUBLICAT PER NED). With the participation of Amador Fernández-Savater, philosopher and author of the book. “Life has become a market. As if it were our second nature, we move in Uber, we travel with Airbnb, let's hook up on Tinder, we buy in Glovo, we entertain ourselves on Netflix, we talk about ourselves in the language of human capital. This second nature, that Amador Fernández-Savater diu libidinal capitalism, he promises us happiness, but what it really produces is suffering and discomfort, in the form of precariousness, indebtedness and psychic pain. Paradoxically, the right seems today more effective than anyone else to channel this desperation and its force of rejection (Trump, Bolsonaro, mercy), while the communication strategies and containment policies of the left are insufficient. It is possible to reappropriate our discomfort as energy for social transformation? It will be necessary to learn to listen and speak body language, imagine and activate politics of desire.”
