Opposition discourse as political training

Viac o knihe

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.
