FOR THE DISAPPEARANCE OF RITUALS - 9786185400507 - OPERA - BYUNG-CHUL HAN

Genre: LITERATURE

ISBN: 9786185400507

Publisher: Opera

RITUALS MAKE THE WORLD A RELIABLE PLACE. RITUALS ARE TO TIME WHAT HOME IS TO SPACE. THEY MAKE TIME HABITABLE AND ATTRACTIVE, JUST AS A HOME DOES. RITUALS ORGANIZE AND ARRANGE TIME.

By avoiding the outdated nostalgia for the rituals of the past, Byung-Chul Han examines the history of their disappearance as a means of studying and diagnosing the pathologies of the present.

He contrasts the “human community without the need for communication,” where the intensity of camaraderie provides structure and meaning to existence, with today’s “communication without community,” which abolishes collective feelings and leaves individuals exposed to exploitation and manipulation by neoliberal psychopolitics.
