: The Uses of a Powerful Emotion Kurt, Seyda. creator text xx 2025 First edition monographic eng Eng lis h 156 pages Who is allowed to hate? Hatred, this grating, corrosive feeling, is omnipresent, roaring from the streets or whispered in bourgeois homes. It thrives in parliamentary speeches, conspiracy theorists' fantasies and children's bedrooms - and certainly not in secret, even if many would like to see it restricted there. German bestselling author Seyda Kurt frees hatred from its banishment and sets out on the trail of its potential for resistance. She is particularly interested in people as subjects of hatred in a capitalist, racist and patriarchal world. Who are these haters and what power relations do they base them selves on? Who is allowed to hate? Which feelings paralyse, and which ones guide us to a fairer, more caring society? Ruthlessly, humorously and going beyond any self-righteous indignation, Seyda Kurt explores the possibility of a serviceable hatred that connects with people who feel a deep sense of discontent and helps us to find a collective way forward.
