Description:A moving exploration of political activism and its mental toll, with the raw emotion of Maggie Nelson’s Argonauts and the daring theoretical analysis of Lauren Berlant's Cruel OptimismHannah Proctor prescribes a healthy dose of criticism for psychoanalytic or psychiatric approaches that fail to grasp how it feels to struggle for a better world — especially struggles that end in defeat, disillusionment, and exhaustion.Meditating on trauma, anxiety, mourning, and rage, Proctor draws from the diverse ways that activists and revolutionaries have confronted the emotional impacts of their political experiences to offer an alternative that asks, 'should we have to choose between Freud's couch or a march in the streets?'Burnout deftly situates self-care and wellness in a long historical perspective, visiting and Jettisoning 'therapy talk' and its stranglehold on our language and visions of the good life, Proctor offers a different way forward. Her cogent exploration of the ways militants make sense of their own burnout demonstrates that it is possible to mourn and organize, altogether and at once.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
