Seigworth, Carolyn Pedwell Building on the foundational The Affect Theory Reader, this new volume gathers together contemporary scholarship that highlights and interrogates the contemporary state of affect theory. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Building on the foundational Affect Theory Reader, this new volume gathers together contemporary scholarship that highlights and interrogates the contemporary state of affect inquiry. Unsettling what might be too readily taken-for-granted assumptions in affect theory, The Affect Theory Reader 2 extends and challenges how contemporary theories of affect intersect with a wide range of topics and fields that include Black studies, queer and trans theory, Indigenous cosmologies, feminist cultural analysis, psychoanalysis, and media ecologies. It foregrounds vital touchpoints for contemporary studies of affect, from the visceral elements of climate emergency and the sensorial sinews of networked media to the minor feelings entangled with listening, looking, thinking, writing, and teaching otherwise. Tracing affects resonances with todays most critical debates, The Affect Theory Reader 2 will reorient and disorient readers to the past, present, and future potentials of affect theory.

In the intervening thirteen years, the study of affect has spread its capillaries across an ever-growing spectrum of disciplines, while at the same time expanding the scope of its own problematics. This new anthology skillfully presents a much-needed digest of the state of the field today. The essays it brings together address a wide range of topics, opening new perspectives on some of the most pressing issues of our time, including, in a reckoning that is long overdue for the field, an emphasis on issues of race. This is an excellent and timely volume that readers interested in affect studies and allied areas will find indispensable." -- Brian Massumi, author of * Couplets: Travels in Speculative Pragmatism *"The essays in The Affect Theory Reader 2 offer galvanizing, clarifying experiments with thought and form. Wholly reimagined from its previous incarnation, this cluster of attunings showcases the maturity of this line of inquiry and so many of its emergent conversations, while at the same time finding the mettle to rethink the origins and legacies of affect theory as such. An exciting offering for anyone who imagines the minor registers of experience deserves an unmistakably major volume." -- Jordan Alexander Stein, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Fordham University"Much of The Affect Theory Reader 2 calls attention to how theory and practice co-constitute each other rather than oppose one another." -- Jack Warren * Years Work in Critical and Cultural Theory * Details ISBN1478024917 Short Title The Affect Theory Reader 2 Publisher Duke University Press Series ANIMA: Critical Race Studies Otherwise Language English Year 2023 ISBN-10 1478024917 ISBN-13 9781478024910 Format Paperback Subtitle Worldings, Tensions, Futures Author Carolyn Pedwell Imprint Duke University Press Place of Publication North Carolina Country of Publication United States Edited by Carolyn Pedwell Illustrations 13 illustrations AU Release Date 2023-11-03 NZ Release Date 2023-11-03 UK Release Date 2023-11-03 Pages 504 Alternative 9781478020196 DEWEY 152.4 Audience Professional & Vocational Publication Date 2023-10-13 US Release Date 2023-10-13 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
