Description
The Alienated Subject On the Capacity to Hurt by James A. Tyner explores how alienation has become a pervasive concept in contemporary life under racial capitalism and white supremacy. This groundbreaking book offers a novel framework for understanding the alienated subject, situating it within these systems of oppression. Tyner develops a critique of both the liberal subject and the alienated subject, drawing on sources such as Marxism, feminism, existentialism, and critical race theory. He examines how the recent pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement have exposed the universal whitewashing of alienation, revealing its capacity for both compassion and cruelty. The Alienated Subject On the Capacity to Hurt calls for an affirmation of love as a revolutionary concept, necessary for transforming a society marred by capitalism into an emancipated, caring society conditioned by socially just relations.
