Synopsis "Modernitat Explosiva (in Catalan)"

Una analisi clarivident del paper central de les emocions en el nostre present, per una de les pensadores mes importants actuals.Discursos de la por, espirals de decepcio, gent enrabiada. A Modernitat explosiva, la reconeguda sociologa Eva Illouz, una de les pensadores mes importants actuals, examina el nostre present des de la perspectiva de les emocions i els sentiments que el forgen. La por, la decepcio, l?enveja, la gelosia i la rabia, pero tambe la vergonya i l?amor, estan profundament incrustades en la modernitat occidental i son cultivades intensament per l?economia, la politica i la cultura. Son psicologicament rellevants, moralment significatives, politicament efectives, i del tot ambivalents. Per aixo el present en que vivim es tan volatil, fins i tot explosiu. Les crisis latents de la societat contemporania no es poden deslligar de la textura de les seves emocions. En nou capitols magistrals Illouz explica aquests fenomens i les seves implicacions.

Eva Illouz, born on April 30, 1961 in Fez, Morocco, is a Franco-Israeli sociologist and writer specialized in the history of emotional life and the impact of capitalism on culture. Currently, she is a professor of sociology and anthropology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and has been a director of studies at the École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales (EHESS) in Paris. Her research focuses on the commodification of emotions and "affective capitalism".

Among her most notable works are "Cold Intimacies: The Making of Emotional Capitalism" (2007), "Why Love Hurts" (2012), and "Happycracy: How the Science and Industry of Happiness Control Our Lives" (2019), the latter co-written with Edgar Cabanas. These works belong to the genre of sociology and have been translated into numerous languages, consolidating her international reputation.
