Narratives of Loneliness: Multidisciplinary Perspectives from the 21st Century (Explorations in Mental Health)

Olivia Sagan

4.9/5 (21483 ratings)

Description:This book explores loneliness; the experience of it, the discourse surrounding it and what, if anything in these considerations, is specific to today. This book aims to explore the subject of loneliness as we move deeper into a century which faces the paradox of greater and faster connectedness and yet more intensely experienced isolation.Drawing on multidisciplinary thinking and empirical research, the book explores:How the human experience of loneliness is being reconfigured through subtle changes in western and western-influenced discourses of lonelinessHow the 'loneliness epidemic' is narrated and expressed by those who feel it most acutely and how the post-developed reflexive being is making meaning of such experienceWhat a multidisciplinary approach to the study of what some claim is a fundamental human condition can add to our understanding of loneliness in the 21st century.The chapters in this book, coming from diverse writers in a range of disciplines, explore loneliness from a variety of angles - what it is for different people who live or work with it, what it is thought to have been, what it might possibly become. The book presents a range of voices from science and humanities on the texture, damages and possible respites of loneliness, as we move further into post-developed society where the distances between the human being and her natural environment are expanding; the space between the rich and the poor increasing; the gulf between competing ideologies widening and the fences between us and our neighbours being fortified. Are we lonelier that ever, the more internetted and connected we become? If so, is that a problem, and what are the specifics of the experience?We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
