Richard Sennett's The Fall of Public Man examines the growing imbalance between private and public experience, and asks what can bring us to reconnect with our communities. Sennett takes a skeptical view of our tendency to judge by apparent personality and intention, above or even in place of acts on record. He notes the dangers of this view: a crippling personal (and societal) incidence of narcissism and susceptibility to charlatans and charismatic exploiters to name a few. Glendinning tells a story about the couple staying at a mutual friend's country house. The host told her that after everyone had gone to bed, peals of laughter were heard coming from their bedroom. Glendinning thinks that "for a couple who are apart an awful lot of the time, it works very well when they are together". Sennett, who has no children of his own, is by all accounts a devoted stepfather to Saskia's only son, Hilary, 25, a sculptor in New York.

What has emerged in the last hundred years, as communities of collective *personality* have begun to form, is that the shared imagery becomes a deterrent to shared action. Just as personality itself has become an antisocial idea, collective personality becomes group identity in society hostile to, difficult to translate into, group activity. Community has become a phenomenon of collective being rather than collective action, save in one way. The only transaction for the group to engage in is that of purification, of rejection and chastisement of those who are not "like" others. Since the symbolic materials usable in forming collective personality are unstable, communal purification is unending, a continual quest after the loyal American, the authentic Aryan, the "genuine" revolutionary. The logic of collective personality is the purge; its enemy, all acts of alliance, cooperation, or United Front. Broadly stated, when people today seek to have full and open emotional relations with each other, they succeed only in wounding each other. This is the logical consequence of the destructive gemeinschaft which arose when personality made its appearance in society." Tracing the changing nature of urban society from the eighteenth century to the world we now live in, and the decline of involvement in political life in recent decades, Richard Sennett discusses the causes of our social withdrawal. His landmark study of the imbalance of modern civilization provides a fascinating perspective on the relationship between public life and the cult of the individual.

A Natural History of Economic Life , Princeton, Princeton University Press, 2010.Si bien en términos artísticos no se podía disociar la expresión emocional de la ejecución musical, por ejemplo, en términos políticos se produjo un dominio de lo emocional sobre lo tangible. En otras palabras, se empezó a valorar al político por su capacidad de ser "auténtico" más que por su capacidad de realizar acciones concretas destinadas al bien público, se impuso así una "política de la personalidad"; la lógica detrás es que si lo verdadero es aquello que es inmanente a la observación, la producción de apariencias personales "auténticas" por parte del político hacen que su carácter sea validado ante el público, es el dominio del carisma secular. urn:oclc:878524934 Republisher_date 20120901075410 Republisher_operator [email protected] Scandate 20120828181245 Scanner scribe12.shenzhen.archive.org Scanningcenter shenzhen Source In the course of this investigation, Sennett covers a lot of ground. He discusses street life in the 18th and 19th century, the evolution of audience behaviour in the theatre, fashion developments, the rise of the department store, Lamartine's oratory skills and Zola's intervention during the Dreyfus affair - to name just a few of a topics dealt with in the course of this book.

The Sennetts lived in two rooms with a bath, but were to some extent isolated from the wider "screaming, laughing, wailing, shouting life" of the housing projects. Playing the cello at six and composing at eight, living in a flat filled with books, the serious young boy could see a way out. "We had a tough time financially, but in the bohemian, radical milieu in which we lived, we were just another family," he says. "It had a curious class composition, this world. Most were Jewish, but it was a cultural milieu, not an ethnic one."Pour J. Bonhomme (2012), c’est précisément l’absence d’un dispositif d’ordonnancement impersonnel d (...)
