Racism, collective violence, sickness, environmental catastrophe,
body obsession, greed, and accelerated life concern everyone. They
are also the subject matter of this book. Here, however, they are
not viewed as social problems to be solved by technical experts.
Instead, they are viewed as products of the joint transference of
aspects of ourselves onto objects independent of ourselves. More
specifically, they emerge from conviction there is something "out
there"-say, a nation, an enemy, time, money, the environment, a
medical cure, a bodily orifice (the mouth or genitals), a
significant individual, or an anonymous public, etc.-the
advancement of, accumulation of, defeat of, management of, or
obeisance to can complete us, secure us, fill us, stabilize us, or
in some other way enable us to escape from or deny our "lack": our
existential precariousness or death. Sociological Trespasses
attempts to disillusion readers of this conviction. This is not
done for itself, but to create space for imagining new horizons of
lived-possibility, such as tolerance of human difference,
simplicity, slowness, care, and wakefulness.
