Generation Crocodile Tears - A book by Pauline Voss, personally signed
On the Power Techniques of Wokeness
The young woke generation dominates socio-political debates. Raised in an unpolitical era, they now inundate the public with a hyper-political obsession with sensibilities. How did it come to this?
Pauline Voss's debate book deciphers the power techniques of this generation and, for this purpose, offers a reinterpretation of the philosopher Michel Foucault: In it, she demonstrates why Foucault's theories can by no means serve as legitimation for totalitarian wokeness, but – on the contrary – rather delegitimize it.
The "Crocodile Tears Generation" is thus, for the first time, defeated with its own philosophical weapons. The author intertwines general societal phenomena with personal experiences to create a vividly written generational portrait that answers questions such as: How does the new philistinism constitute itself? Why does the Crocodile Tears Generation try to control sexuality? How is the loss of the physical manifested? And how does all of this affect the culture and progress of our country?
