Characterized by Nietzsche as the self-poisoning of the will through internalising trauma in the form of a postponed and imaginary revenge, the concept of \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e is making a comeback in political\u003cbr\u003ediscourse.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike resentment, the feeling of injustice, \u003ci\u003eressentiment\u003c\/i\u003e is an intrinsically polemical notion. It implies a political drama in which there is no inherent good sense in its application and no universal criterion. Drawing on psychoanalysis, political theory, media theory and philosophy, this book examines a wide variety of ideological contexts, offering an examination of the divergent senses in which the concept of \u003ci\u003eressentiment \u003c\/i\u003eis used today.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781350003675\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":40673447182542,"sku":"9781350003675","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_80dd06bc-0d1e-4f49-a6be-c662153d3c67.jpg?v=1639883746","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781350003675","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
