    * The role of loss within society
    Andreas Reckwitz 's book 'Loss, A Modern Predicament, The first comprehensive study of the role of loss within society", 2025 explains loss not only from a psychological perspective, but also from a sociological one.

    "Loss has come to occupy a central position in late modernity – whether in the consequences of climate change or the entrenchment of negative expectations about the future, the ‘losers’ of post-industrial modernisation or the collective processing of ‘historical wounds’ and of who is acknowledged as the victims and perpetrators of these crimes, in a heightened psychological awareness of vulnerability, in political populism, a nostalgia for things past, or programmes of resilience."

    "Loss is the bread and butter of populism." >>

    Wenn ein #Staat #interveniert, um #privat​e #Kommunikation zu #überwachen und zu #verbieten, komme es zu einer #Umwälzung sämtlicher #Element​e der #Gastfreundschaft.

    Die #Möglichkeit dazu stehe am #Ursprung von #Reaktion​en und #Ressentiment​s, die auf #Säuberung​en aus seien.
