Abstract

In addition to the disciplinary society of the 21st century, according to Han, we live in a society of performance and fatigue, which demands the autonomy of life itself through technology, whose inhabitants are now subjects of production and entrepreneurs of themselves. Han introduces tiredness as a characteristic of this society, taken over by neuronal diseases, in a world that has lost its soul and become devoid of its relationship with the divine. The author invites us to rethink the terms of this contemporaneity.
