Across the humanities, a set of interrelated concepts - excess,
becoming, the event - have gained purchase as analytical tools for
thinking about power. Some versions of affect theory rely on Gilles
Deleuze's concept of 'becoming', proposing that affect is best
understood as a field of dynamic novelty. Reconsidering affect
theory's relationship with life sciences, Schaefer argues that this
procedure fails as a register of the analytics of power. By way of
a case study, this work concludes with a return to the work of Saba
Mahmood, in particular her 2005 study of the women's mosque
movement in Cairo, Politics of Piety.
