Hope and hopelessness: A dialogue

Lisa Duggan, José Esteban Muñoz

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This article is a critical dialogue between Lisa Duggan and José Esteban Muñoz that meditates on questions of public feelings and politics. The authors approach hope and hopelessness as a dialectical formation, ultimately calling for both a critical modality of hope and insisting on the political necessity of engaging feelings of hopelessness that do not simply lead to complacency. The essay melds social theory with concepts from the psychological.
