Why it’s on the list: Ahmed reclaims the figure of the killjoy — the person who names the problem and is then treated as the problem — as a practical philosophy for institutional life.
Where I saw it: Recommended in a BookTok video by Carrie (@carriereadsbooks) that Kyle saved to his Apple Note “Books To Read” — his own note on the list: books to prepare for a Trump presidency. Video: https://www.tiktok.com/@carriereadsbooks/video/7434519243615472927
Connections
- Feminism — the tradition.
- Language of Discourse — how naming a problem gets reframed as being one.
