Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Success in modern Western society has become an object of aspiration for many, who construct their self-worth-and in many respects their veryidentity-according to accepted criteria of success, primarily in the professionaland economic spheres. When the pursuit of success takes hold across al…l areasof life, many people find it difficult to live with failure or to acknowledge it.Where, then, did the race for success in the West begin? Is it a phenomenonunique to our time? This book examines the cultural value of success and itsorigins in Western society through the genealogical method. As a criticalmethodology, genealogical inquiry is driven by an interest in understandingcontemporary reality and subjecting it to critique through a reinterpretation ofthe past. Uncovering the past confronts us with contingency and diminishes thedominance of necessity in our lives. The central thesis advanced in this book isthat the concepts of "success" and "failure," which function as foundationalcultural structures, are rooted at the very heart of Western culture. They aredeeply embedded in its origins and should not be understood as late products ofconsumer capitalist culture.Bina Nir identifies three components that played a central role in the formationof these structures within Western culture: the separation of humanity fromnature, Judeo-Christian judgment, and the Western conception of time. Even ifthese elements cannot be understood in terms of clear causal relations, they canbe identified and marked as part of the forces that led to the emergence of thecurrent condition. It is impossible to arrive at a definitive list of all the structuresand forces that shaped the overarching constructs under discussion. However, exposing three of them allows us to understand that the prevailing structures ofsuccess and failure did not have to take the form they did. In other words, whatoften appears inevitable is not a historical necessity.Dr. Bina Nir is a cultural scholar and lecturer at the Sammy Ofer School ofCommunications at Reichman University and in the Multidisciplinary StudiesDepartment at the Western Galilee Academic College. She is the author of TheFailure of Success [in Hebrew] (Resling, 2016) and Deconstructing Culturefrom Anxiety to Hope [in Hebrew] (Niv Books, 2025). This item is printed on demand.
