What Is The Purpose Of Crying?

New Booklet published by José Laguna

Refuting the cliché that crying is useless, this booklet maintains that, givenour current context of insensible neoliberal globalization, public expression of suffering is an essential form of political criticism. This is so not only because weeping revealsto others our interior affliction, butalso because our crying together with others and for othersturns ourmourning into a sign of empathy, protest, criticism, outcry, and resistance.
