Book Synopsis



Un profundo y necesario análisis sobre el gaslighting, un concepto psicológico que no solo ha dado nombre a una técnica de manipulación relacional, sino que también ha moldeado nuestra comprensión de la verdad en la era de la posverdad.

«¿Estás segura de que todo va bien? Pareces cansada... Últimamente te olvidas de todo...» Estas palabras podrían ser inofensivas, pero esconden un peligroso proceso de manipulación psicológica conocido como luz de gas.

La película de George Cukor de 1944, que popularizó el término gaslighting (o luz de gas), describe las manipulaciones del marido de Paula para llevarla al borde de la locura al hacerle dudar de su percepción de la realidad.

En Luz de gas, la filósofa Hélène Frappat ofrece una definición histórica, sociológica, política y filosófica de este fenómeno que ha trascendido las fronteras de las relaciones personales para convertirse en una herramienta de control más en todos los ámbitos. Desde la manipulación en las relaciones interpersonales hasta el negacionismo histórico, Frappat nos demuestra cómo el gaslighting no constituye solo una forma de maltrato físico y psicológico (especialmente hacia las mujeres), sino también un sistema diseñado para socavar los cimientos de la verdad y de la realidad.

Mediante una profunda lectura filosófica, Frappat nos invita a conocer y descifrar este concepto clave en los movimientos de liberación de la mujer y la teoría feminista, mostrando cómo ha pasado de ser un recurso cinematográfico a convertirse en una de las nociones centrales del debate público contemporáneo.


ENGLISH DESCRIPTION


A deep and necessary analysis of gaslighting, a psychological concept that has not only given a name to a relational manipulation technique but has also shaped our understanding of truth in the era of post-truth.

"Are you sure everything is okay? You look tired... Lately, you forget everything..." These words might seem harmless, but they hide a dangerous psychological manipulation process known as gaslighting.

George Cukor's 1944 film, which popularized the term gaslighting, describes the manipulations of Paula's husband to drive her to the brink of madness by making her doubt her perception of reality.

In Gaslighting, philosopher Hélène Frappat offers a historical, sociological, political, and philosophical definition of this phenomenon, which has transcended personal relationships to become a broader tool of control. From manipulation in interpersonal relationships to historical denialism, Frappat demonstrates how gaslighting is not just a form of physical and psychological abuse (especially against women) but also a system designed to undermine the foundations of truth and reality.

Through a deep philosophical reading, Frappat invites us to explore and decipher this key concept in women's liberation movements and feminist theory, showing how it has evolved from a cinematic device into one of the central notions of contemporary public debate.
