1. A Era Do Vazio
Ensaios sobre o individualismo contemporâneo
This insightful work delves into the cultural and societal shifts of the late 20th century, exploring the rise of individualism and the decline of traditional social structures. It examines how consumerism, media, and technology have fostered a sense of superficiality and detachment, leading to a "culture of narcissism" where personal gratification and self-expression take precedence over collective values and community engagement. Through a critical lens, it reflects on the implications of this transformation for identity, relationships, and the broader social fabric.
