NOTHING TO LOSE BUT OUR FEAR: RESISTANCE IN DANGEROUS TIMES
Book ID/图书代码： 01808016B90987
English Summary/英文概要： Our modern lives are saturated with fear. If it’s not the war on terror, it’s the war on the middle class. The war on drugs. The war on war. Crisis dictates the daily discourse of our news feeds, and scare-tactic headlines fill our homes and public spaces. Nothing to Lose But Our Fear delivers a long-overdue counter-blow to this rampant culture of fear fueled by increasingly alarmist news outlets.
Fiona Jeffries explores contemporary and historical manifestations of this phenomenon through a series of conversations with eminent artists, journalists, and activists, such as Marcus Rediker, Silvia Federici, and David Harvey. Their discussions go beyond scrutinizing what constitutes rational versus irrational fear and identifying how politicians and reporters manipulate human fears. They go further, to reveal how that fear antagonizes our subjectivity and how different people across the globe have resisted the political use of fear throughout history.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 我们的现代生活充满了恐惧。不是反恐战争，就是中产阶级战争。就是毒品战争。或者战争中的战争。危机决定了我们新闻的日常话语，以及恐吓策略的标题充斥着我们的家和公共空间。《一无所有，除了我们的恐惧》对这种由越来越耸人听闻的新闻媒体推波助澜的猖獗的恐惧文化提供了一个期待已久的反击。
菲奥娜•杰弗里斯通过与一些杰出的艺术家、记者和活动家的对话，如马库斯•瑞迪克，西尔维亚•费德里西，戴维•哈维等，探讨了这一现象的当代和历史表现。他们的讨论不仅仅审查了什么构成理性与非理性的恐惧，以及确定政客和记者如何操纵人类的恐惧。他们走的更远，揭示了恐惧如何引起我们主体性的敌对，以及如何历史上全球各地不同的人如何使用恐惧抵制政治。(LNL)

“Multi-faceted, insightful, global: Fiona Jeffries’ conversations with some of our best contemporary theorists, activists, historians (and frequently all three at once) confront fear head-on and come out fighting. In-depth conversations tackle some of the thorniest topics confronting activists and theorists today: how best to understand the state? How best to fight against it? What types of global thinking and resistance can help us to think—and act—otherwise.”
