On melodrama and the bourgeois subject.
We're back with the next installment of our series on the "emotional turn". Alex talks to Catherine Liu about whether politics is staged in a "melodramatic" fashion today.
- What is the bourgeois subject, why was it good, and where did it go?
- What is melodrama?
- Does public crying make us feel connected? Is it all Oprah's fault?
- Why is psychoanalysis the solution to, not the cause of, therapy culture?
- How is indignation used today? Is the political scene just villains and victims?
