Description
Critical Affect: The Politics of Method by Ashley Barnwell offers a clear-sighted intervention into debates about affect theory and critique. By exploring the emotional complexity of critique, Barnwell maps out its enduring value for the turn to affect and ontology. Through close readings of influential work on affect, non-representational, and actor-network theories, Barnwell establishes kinships between the linguistic and ontological turns in theory. This book foregrounds the contemporary, everyday purchase and pragmatic value of critical attention in both popular culture and social contexts. By examining concerns about precarity, transparency, and security, Critical Affect opens crucial questions about the ethics of practicing theory and offers a new route into the critical study of affect.
