But what if this isn’t depression as we know it, but instead a reaction to the chaos and collapse of a seemingly unchangeable and unliveable future?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn Quit Everything, Franco Berardi argues that this “depression” is actually conscious or unconscious withdrawal of psychological energy and a dis-investment of desire that he defines instead as “desertion”. A desertion from political participation, from the daily grind of capitalism, from the brutal reality of climate collapse, and from a society which offers nothing but chaos and pain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBerardi analyses why this desertion is on the rise and why more people are quitting everything in our age of political impotence and the rise of the far-right, asking if we can find some political hope in desertion amongst the ruins of a world on the brink of collapse.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Repeater","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53303793516887,"sku":"9781915672513","price":17.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0995\/6025\/9927\/files\/9781915672513.jpg?v=1776158081","url":"https:\/\/corpusbookshop.com\/products\/quit-everything-interpreting-depression-franco-berardi","provider":"corpus bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
