Living on after failure : affective structures of modern life
2025
Overview
\"Living On After Failure traces the affective structure of failure as a continual mode of being, rather than something to overcome. Resisting the temptation to offer a recuperative philosophy or progress narrative, Irving Goh instead engages with the ontological condition of failure as a process of thought on the individual scale and as a social zeitgeist. Through reading works by contemporary writers like Ottessa Moshfegh, Eve Sedgwick, Rachel Cusk, Édouard Levé's, Yiyun Li, and Kate Zambreno, readers are guided through stages of reckoning with failure as an immersive impasse: flopping, drifting itself, a dark care of the self, melodrama, and post-scripting. Through these readings, Goh seeks a methodology to disturb the failure/success binary narrative that too-often structures \"failure studies.\" In doing so, he articulates new ways of living alongside the deeply personal nature of failure without seeking to push it away\"-- Provided by publisher.
