Recenzii
"While a reader of the book might be left less rather than more sure of what precisely constitutes affect theory, or even affect itself, s/he is nevertheless very likely to be moved by the range of both thought and affective styles that make up the volume and constitute what the editors call in the introduction, an inventory of shimmers (p11). This incitement to more than discourse, the capacity to touch, to move, to mobilise readers (p24) is exactly what one would hope for from a reader of affect theory, and is what the contributions that make up this collection indeedachieve." Michael Goddard, New Formations
"The Affect Theory Reader shows how affect can be deployed in a range of frameworks, including the neurological, psychological, social, cultural, philosophical and political, and that there is room for debate among these various fields above all between the Deleuze-inspired writings of Brian Massumi and his followers and those of the more scientifically minded followers of Eve Sedgwick, whose work was formulated in dialogue with affect psychologist Silvan Tomkins" Todd Cronan, Radical Philosophy, March 2012
"The Affect Theory Reader is unique. It gathers interesting and provocative articles on affect by well-known theorists and suggestively brings to expression the productive divergence between different philosophical and psychological positions on the subject. Erin Manning, author of Politics of Touch: Sense, Movement, Sovereignty
"Written by some of the most interesting and important thinkers in the field, the essays in this superb collection prove how any serious consideration of culture and politics needs to involve serious attention to affect. The Affect Theory Reader covers remarkable ground: from the ontology of future threat in Bushs pre-emptive politics to the management of workplace affects in the information economy; from the biology of human mimicry to attachments to promises of the good life that often cruelly wear out economically precarious subjects. Thoughtfully curated and genuinely interdisciplinary with contributors from fields ranging from media studies to geography, Melissa Gregg and Gregory J. Seigworths reader will be indispensable to anyone working in or adjacent to affect theory. Sianne Ngai, author of Ugly Feelings
