Opposition discourse as political training

En savoir plus sur le livre

The book explores the intricate relationship between power, the body, and discourse in shaping political opposition. It argues that empathy towards opposing views arises from a complex interplay of societal influences rather than sheer will. Through a process of social conditioning, individuals become uncritical participants in a polarized collective, driven by a rhetoric that seeks to create a homogenized society. This dynamic fosters a cycle where naïve citizens evolve into staunch opponents, perpetuating a belligerent national identity marked by rivalry and social tension.
