My Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/simonobirek When we talk about depression, we usually talk about a condition affecting someone's mental health. Mikkel Krause Frantzen, however, wrote the book "Going Nowhere, Slow: The Aesthetics and Politics of Depression" in which he argues that we also need to conceptualise depression as something conditioned by economic, social, and political factors outside of our psyches. In this episode, we discuss his book.
