Psicopolítica by Byung-Chul Han
Neoliberalismus und die neuen Machttechniken
A concise philosophical critique arguing that contemporary power operates through psychopolitics—a mode of governance that exploits freedom, positivity, and the imperative to self-optimize to produce self-exploiting subjects. Instead of overt coercion, it uses digital surveillance, data-driven recommendation, and the commercialization of attention to internalize control, turning individuals into entrepreneurs of themselves and generating pathologies such as burnout, depression, and anxiety. The effect is a depoliticized society in which transparency, performance, and the cult of positivity undermine solidarity and collective resistance.
