During the twentieth century we witnessed veritable eruptions of this insidious emotion, and we are still witnesses of its proliferation at various levels of society. This book aims to explore, according to Rene Girard?s mimetic theory, the anthropological and social assumptions that make up ressentiment and to investigate its genesis. The analysis of ressentiment shows that this emotion evolves from mimetic desire: it is an affective experience that people have when a rival denies them opportunities or valuable resources (including status) that they consider to be socially accessible. It is a specific figure of mimetic desire that is typical of contemporary society, where the equality that is proclaimed at the level of values contrasts with striking inequalities of power and access to material resources. This dichotomy generates increasing tension between highly competitive and egalitarian mimetic desires and growing social inequalities. The ressentiment is ambiguous, and its ambiguity is that of mimetic desire itself, which we cannot dismiss from our lives. In that it provides occasions of conflict and baseness, ressentiment can fuel violence, discord, and injustice, but it also can open opportunities for growth and justice, and for inventing institutions that are better adapted to the transformations of our contemporary society. 410 0$aBreakthroughs in mimetic theory. 606 $aDesire (Philosophy) 606 $aResentment 615 0$aDesire (Philosophy) 615 0$aResentment. 676 $a192.2003984664 700 $aTomelleri$b Stefano$0486807 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910792466703321 996 $aRessentiment$93825237 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02676nam 22004573a 450 001 9910831840303321 005 20250203232651.0 010 $a9781000333534 010 $a1000333531 024 8 $ahttps://doi.org/10.4324/9781003008385 035 $a(CKB)5490000000052627 035 $a(BIP)077372595 035 $a(ScCtBLL)9a1d708e-7926-431f-a986-46bd8767e3af 035 $a(EXLCZ)995490000000052627 100 $a20250203i20202020 uu 101 0 $aeng 135 $auru|||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aReframing the Urban Challenge in Africa$fSylvia Croese, Ntombini Marrengane 210 1$a[s.l.] :$cRoutledge,$d2020. 215 $a1 online resource (222 p.) $cill 225 1 $aRoutledge Studies in Cities and Development 330 $aThis book explores the changing dynamics and challenges behind the rapid expanse of Africa's urban population. Africa's urban age is underway. With the world's fastest growing urban population, the continent is rapidly transforming from one that is largely rural, to one that is largely urban. Often facing limited budgets, those tasked with managing African cities require empirical evidence on the nature of demands for infrastructure, escalating environmental hazards, and ever-expanding informal settlements. Drawing on the work of the African Urban Research Initiative, this book brings together contributions from local researchers investigating key themes and challenges within their own contexts. An important example of urban knowledge coproduction, the book demonstrates the regional diversity that can be seen as the main feature of African urbanism, with even well-accepted concepts such as informality manifesting in markedly different ways from place to place. Providing an important nuanced perspective on the heterogeneity of African cities and the challenges they face, this book will be an important resource for researchers across development studies, African studies, and urban studies. 410 $aRoutledge Studies in Cities and Development 606 $aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial Science / Developing & Emerging Countries$2bisacsh 606 $aSocial sciences 615 7$aSocial Science / Sociology / Urban 615 7$aSocial Science / Developing & Emerging Countries 615 0$aSocial sciences. 676 $a307.76096 702 $aCroese$b Sylvia 702 $aMarrengane$b Ntombini 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910831840303321 996 $aReframing the Urban Challenge in Africa$94318456 997 $aUNINA
