La plainte: Voix Libres

Rate this book
Qui ne s'est jamais plaint ? De son travail, de ses parents, de sa vie... A la différence de l'indignation, la plainte est durable. Elle contamine nos discours et notre existence de plaignants. La philosophie n'apporte pas de consolation, mais elle peut distinguer les geignards insupportables des plaintifs lucides. Cor il y a bien de quoi se plaindre face au monde tel qu'il est. Mais à qui ? Et comment ? La philosophe Avital Ronell ouvre le registre des plaintes éternelles et occasionnelles.. Avec un style provocateur et humoristique, Avital Ronell crée un théâtre philosophique où elle expose les griefs de ses amis : Hamlet, Derrida, Werther, Arendt... Objet elle-même d'une plainte pour harcèlement sexuel et d'un lynchage médiatique international, cette féministe queer répond pour la première fois à ses accusateurs, dans le contexte du mouvement #MeToo..
