The article investigates the phenomenon from a critical theoretical perspective. The crisis of praxis is inseparable from the crisis of theory: to resolve them, critical theory's relation to suffering needs to be revised. To provide an alternative framework, the perspective of consolation is proposed as a counter to activist fatigue. Consolation does not aim at eradicating the activists’ existential suffering; instead, it provides tools to live with the uncertainties of activism. To elaborate a version of consolation capable of resolving the crisis of emancipatory praxis, four questions are analysed: what is the relationship between critique and consolation; how can the phenomenological space of consolation be described; what are the contemporary constraints surrounding consolation; how can consolation be consistent with both the demands of critique and the constraints of late modernity, while avoiding activist fatigue? true 2025 true true true false true false NONE 2026-02-17 false 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 2 D1 C nemzetközi false false false false 2025-05-04T07:20:45.568+0000 Társadalomelmélet Tanszék (ELTE / TATK / Szoc_Int) 1 13 1 1 0 true Language 10002 /api/language/10002 English Angol English true 2 true PersonAuthorship 126335272 /api/authorship/126335272 Sik, Domonkos [Sik, Domonkos (szociológia), author] Department of Social Theory (ELTE / ELTE TÁTK) 1 1.0 true false false Author 10038803 /api/author/10038803 Domonkos Sik (szociológia) Sik Domonkos true 10038803 true Sik Domonkos true false false AuthorshipType 1 /api/authorshiptype/1 Author 0 true 0 true false true PublicationIdentifier 29304258 /api/publicationidentifier/29304258 DOI: 10.1177/07255136251331992 PlainSource 6 /api/publicationsource/6 DOI PublicationSourceType 10001 /api/publicationsourcetype/10001 DOI true true true DOI DOI https://doi.org/@@@ true true 6 true 10.1177/07255136251331992 https://doi.org/10.1177/07255136251331992 false true PublicationIdentifier 29304260 /api/publicationidentifier/29304260 WoS: 001467793600001 PlainSource 1 /api/publicationsource/1 WoS PublicationSourceType 10003 /api/publicationsourcetype/10003 Indexelő adatbázis false true true WoS WoS https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/@@@ true true 1 true IDENTICAL 001467793600001 https://www.webofscience.com/wos/woscc/full-record/001467793600001 false true PublicationIdentifier 29304259 /api/publicationidentifier/29304259 Other URL: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07255136251331992 PlainSource 40 /api/publicationsource/40 Other URL PublicationSourceType 10006 /api/publicationsourcetype/10006 Link true true true Egyéb URL Other URL @@@ true true 40 true https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07255136251331992 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/07255136251331992 false true Keyword 1057196 /api/keyword/1057196 burnout true 1057196 true Keyword 1258233 /api/keyword/1258233 Grief true 1258233 true Keyword 1850787 /api/keyword/1850787 Consolation true true Keyword 1915187 /api/keyword/1915187 social-justice true true Keyword 2551772 /api/keyword/2551772 Late modernity true true Keyword 3415913 /api/keyword/3415913 emancipatory praxis true true Keyword 3860883 /api/keyword/3860883 activist fatigue true true MtaRating 520029 /api/mtarating/520029 IX.
