0 Cómo podemos defender el pensamiento individual ante el exceso de líneas rojas?

Los proyectos comunes que han sostenido las sociedades democráticas occidentales parecen rotos. Ni siquiera una pandemia global logra hacernos comprender que los grandes retos requieren respuestas colectivas. Sometidos a las reglas del identitarismo, una polarización extrema ha dado lugar al narcisismo tribal y al ensimismamiento autorreferencial. Colectivos erotizados por su propia identidad y hostiles al resto, victimistas profesionales y nacionalistas excluyentes dominan un panorama donde parece justificable eliminar los derechos de las personas en pos de una causa mayor.

La casa del ahorcado es un demoledor y controvertido ensayo que observa los efectos de la cultura del sentimentalismo en la libertad de expresión y analiza algunas de las manifestaciones más alarmantes de nuestro retroceso hacia la tribu. Con mirada antropológica, pero sin intención académica, Soto Ivars nos ofrece un recorrido por diversos casos contemporáneos de retorno al tabú, el horror sacro, el chivo expiatorio, la herejía y el castigo ritual, y propone la restauración del concepto de ciudadanía como única salida a la guerra civil de las identidades.

«Comparto con las almas puras la idea de que nadie con un mínimo de sensibilidad mencionaría la soga en la casa del ahorcado, pero como veremos en las próximas páginas, nos enfrentamos a un problema enorme: en un mundo global e hipercomunicado la casa del ahorcado no tiene paredes, ni puerta por la que escapar, abarca el mundo entero sin dejar un resquicio para la libertad.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

How can we defend independent thought against an excess of red lines imposed by society?

The common projects that have sustained Western democratic societies seem broken. Not even a global pandemic can make us understand that great challenges require collective responses. Extreme polarization has given rise to tribal narcissism. Groups charmed by their own identity but hostile to other's identities, professional victimizers, and elite nationalists dominate a panorama where it seems justifiable to eliminate individual's rights in pursuit of a greater cause.

The Hanged Man's Houseis a devastating and controversial essay that looks at the effects of sensibility within freedom of expression and analyzes some of the most alarming signs of our retreat back towards tribal times. With an anthropological perspective, Soto Ivars offers a journey through various modern situations: a return to taboo, sacred horror, the scapegoat, sacrilege, and ritual punishments, and proposes a return to the concept of citizenship as the only way out of the identity civil war.
