At the same time, the virus's toll surged exponentially. Amid the harrowing loss, many sensed a glimmer of possibility--the potential for radical empathy wrought by shared experience--even as the death-dealing divisions of class, race, gender, and citizenship were underscored like never before. We have been through a time of "living death" when, for millions across the globe, untold horror has seemed to infiltrate the very air we breathe. Jacqueline Rose's trenchant new book unravels recent history via the lives and works of three extraordinary thinkers--Albert Camus, Sigmund Freud, and Simone Weil, each one afflicted by catastrophe. Their politics and private griefs, the depth of their understanding, fling open a window into our present crises. Rose, one of the most insightful thinkers on politics and psychoanalysis alike, has written a story of unusual range, spanning World War II to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, surging domestic violence to emboldened anti-racist protest, the Spanish influenza to Omicron, Boris Johnson's deranged optimism to Vladimir Putin's megalomania. The Plague: Living Death In Our Times enacts a psychic reckoning for our moment and for the future to be forged in its aftermath. 505 0 $a Introduction -- the way in -- The plague -- To dies one's own death -- thinking with Freud in a time of pandemic -- Living death -- Life after death -- reconstruction after covid -- In extemis -- Simon Weil and the limits of justice -- Afterword -- on virtue. 650 0 $a Plague $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a Plague $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Death. 650 0 $a Death $x Psychological aspects. 650 0 $a COVID-19 Pandemic, 2020- $x Psychological aspects. 650 2 $a Attitude to Death 650 6 $a Peste $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a Peste $x Aspect social. 650 6 $a Mort $x Aspect psychologique. 650 6 $a PandeÌmie de COVID-19, 2020- $x Aspect psychologique. 650 7 $a Plague $x Psychological aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Plague $x Social aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Death $2 fast 650 7 $a Death $x Psychological aspects $2 fast 650 7 $a Psychological aspects $2 fast 648 7 $a Since 2020 $2 fast 655 7 $a Essays. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781804270493 941 $a 1 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20240201010254.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=96049554C0CF11EE81BF3A115DECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
