Anxious bodies in the anxious culture

[2023]

An introspective reflection relating my own bodily anxieties to the dynamics of the neoliberal culture that produces them.

In it, I describe a culture that makes me/us mentally and physically sick, that uproots me/us from my/our identities, that pushes me/us to produce without measure. In it, I crave to make, as an opposition to produce, a culture that seek ways to live together, critically, in common. In Spanish, we call this “convivir”.
