Exhaustion is a current diagnosis of present times. The main thesis of the book is that the emergence of the modern work and performance society is accompanied by counter-histories: the stories of exhaustion. The contributions in the volume attempt to read modernity as a history of exhaustion. The focus is not only on the relationship between exhaustion, capital and work, but also on pathologies associated with exhaustion (burnout, depression).
