The rise of populism, cynicism, fanaticism and fundamentalism
challenges us to reconsider the problem of ressentiment.
Characterized by Nietzsche as the self-poisoning of the will
through internalising trauma in the form of a postponed and
imaginary revenge, the concept of ressentiment is making a comeback
in political discourse. Unlike resentment, the feeling of
injustice, ressentiment is an intrinsically polemical notion. It
implies a political drama in which there is no inherent good sense
in its application and no universal criterion. Drawing on
psychoanalysis, political theory, media theory and philosophy, this
book examines a wide variety of ideological contexts, offering an
examination of the divergent senses in which the concept of
ressentiment is used today.
