Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. The Ornament of Distance is a witty, searching, and unsettling book about what modern life does to the self when appearance begins to replace purpose, and visibility begins to replace reality.Giles na Magaleen argues that we are increasingly taught to live not as souls, neighbours, citizens, or creatures, but as objects: to be displayed, optimised, sexualised, compared, rated, managed, and consumed. The body becomes a project. Speech becomes performance. Reputation becomes score. Identity becomes profile. The self becomes something to curate under the glare of constant exposure.Ranging across culture, technology, theology, philosophy, and everyday life, this book examines spectacle, platforms, prestige, pornography in its widest sense, social scoring, gamification, and the quiet humiliations of being made permanently visible and permanently comparable.But The Ornament of Distance is not just a diagnosis. It is also an argument for recovery: through friendship, memory, locality, liturgy, fidelity, patience, rest, gratitude, and the discipline of enough. Against a world of surfaces, Giles offers a defence of depth. Against the managed self, he recovers the human being as creature, gift, and presence.Sharp, humane, and often very funny, this is a book for readers who suspect that modern culture is making people easier to market, easier to measure, and harder to love.
