Description
The capacity to affect and to be affected opens up a world of questions about our openness to the world. This concept is at the heart of politics, as it concerns immediate participation in the events of the world and the intensities of experience. In this book, Brian Massumi explores the emergent politics of affect, weaving together philosophy, political theory, and everyday life. He introduces new concepts such as differential affective attunement, collective individuation, micropolitics, thinking-feeling, ontopower, and immanent critique to remap the complexity of relation and encounter. Politics of Affect offers an accessible entry-point into Massumi's work, while also opening up new avenues for philosophical reflection and political engagement.
