Full Book Review: Psychopolitics: Neoliberalism and New Technologies of Power by Byung-Chul Han

Welcome to the season 4 finale of the Antifa Book Club: The Full Book review of Byung-Chul Han's Psychopolitics. The central argument he presents is that contemporary neoliberal society is governed by a psychopolitics that operates through positive motivation and voluntary self-exploitation, fundamentally differing from the disciplinary power and biopolitics described by Foucault, which relied on negativity and coercion. Han contends that this new regime exploits freedom, emotions, and personal data (Big Data) to maximize productivity, leading to a profound crisis of freedom where individuals willingly participate in their own subjugation, transforming into "projects" rather than subjects. Key themes analyzed include the shift from the disciplinary panopticon to the digital panopticon, the gamification of work and life, and the triumph of Capital as a new form of transcendence that rules over all aspects of existence. Ultimately, the text advocates for practices of resistance like idiotism and profanation to escape this cycle of unlimited self-optimization and control.
