Höflichkeit - Manier oder identitätsstiftende Instanz? Imagebewahrung? Oder potentielle Gefahr, das Image zu verlieren? Höflichkeit entsteht aus dem Bedürfnis der sozialen Natur des Menschen heraus, anerkannt zu werden. Sie ist ein konstruktiver Teil der sozialen Ordnung. Aber sie birgt zugleich ein verletzendes Potential in sich, das sich als unvermeidliche Nebenfolge und Dimension von höflichem Handeln identifizieren lässt, die diesem eine spezifische Dynamik verleiht. Die Autorin rekonstruiert das Phänomen der Höflichkeit in ihrer aktuellen Relevanz wie in ihrer historischen Entfaltung unter der Prämisse einer Dysfunktionalität der Höflichkeit - ihrer verletzenden Macht. Somit leistet sie einen genuinen Beitrag zur Höflichkeitsforschung, der Ansätze verschiedener sozialwissenschaftlichen Disziplinen in sich vereint.

"Taking a deep dive into contemporary Western culture, this book suggests we are all fundamentally ambivalent beings. A great deal has been written about how to love-to be kinder, more empathic, a better person, and so on. But trying to love without dealing with our ambivalence, with our hatred, is often a recipe for failure. Any attempt, therefore, to love our neighbour as ourselves-or even, for that matter, to love ourselves-must recognize that we love where we hate and we hate where we love. Psychoanalysis, beginning with Freud, has claimed that to be in two minds about something or someone is characteristic of human subjectivity. Owens and Swales trace the concept of ambivalence through its various iterations in Freud and Lacan in order to question how the contemporary subject deals with its ambivalence. They argue that experiences of ambivalence are, in present-day cultural life, increasingly excised or foreclosed, and that this foreclosure has symptomatic effects at the individual as well as social levels. Owens and Swales examine ambivalence as it is at work in mourning, in matters of sexuality, in our enjoyment under neo-liberalism and capitalism. Above all, the authors consider how today's ambivalent subject relates to the racially, religiously, culturally, or sexually different neighbour as a result of the current societal dictate of complete tolerance of the other. In this vein, Swales and Owens argue that ambivalence about one's own jouissance is at the very roots of xenophobia. Peppered with relevant and stimulating examples from clinical work, film, television, politics and everyday life, Psychoanalysing Ambivalence breathes new life into an old concept and will appeal to any reader, academic or clinician with an interest in psychoanalytic ideas"--
