[Patreon Exclusive]
 
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?
