La vergüenza es revolucionaria

Shame is an omnipresent feeling in the contemporary world, a sign of our responsibility. We can be ashamed of the state of the world, of our own belongings compared to those who have nothing, of the indecent wealth of the powerful, of the way we suffocate the planet, of sexist or racist attitudes... Shame is not just sadness and withdrawal; It is also a carrier of anger, of a transformative energy. That is why Marx proclaimed that shame is revolutionary. In this essay, Frédéric Gros turns to authors such as Primo Levi, Annie Ernaux, Virginie Despentes and James Baldwin, to explore the depths of a feeling too forgotten in moral and political philosophy.
