In this wide-ranging and probing book Erin Manning extends her
previous inquiries into the politics of movement to the concept of
the minor gesture. The minor gesture, although it may pass almost
unperceived, transforms the field of relations. More than a chance
variation, less than a volition, it requires rethinking common
assumptions about human agency and political action. To embrace the
minor gesture's power to fashion relations, its capacity to open
new modes of experience and manners of expression, is to challenge
the ways in which the neurotypical image of the human devalues
alternative ways of being moved by and moving through the world-in
particular what Manning terms "autistic perception." Drawing on
Deleuze and Guattari's schizoanalysis and Whitehead's speculative
pragmatism, Manning's far-reaching analyses range from fashion to
depression to the writings of autistics, in each case affirming the
neurodiversity of the minor and the alternative politics it
gestures toward.
