How can we make sense of the relation between youth, work, and the self? What does it mean to form oneself into the ’ideal worker’ in the current impasse, where it is not entirely clear if or how the promise of self-realisation through work endures or might begin to fray?

In this paper, Justine Grønbæk Pors and I try to offer one possible answer. We suggest the notion of ‘the flailing self’ as a contemporary manifestation of youth work subjectivity, amidst conditions of unclarity toward norms of constant self-improvement, progress, and aspiration.
I've written a short book review of @benandersongeog.bsky.social and @ajsecor.bsky.social, The Politics of Feeling. It's now available open access in the incomparable ephemera.
I hope it does some justice to the book and maybe even leads others to pick it up.
