Non-cognitive expressions of the life of the subject - feeling,
motion, tactility, instinct, automatism, and sentience - have
transformed how scholars understand subjectivity, agency and
identity. This collection investigates the critical purchase of the
idiom of affect in this 'post-humanist' thinking of the subject. It
also explores political and ethical questions raised by the
deployment of affect as a theoretical and artistic category.
Together the contributors to this collection map the theoretically
heterogeneous field of post-humanist scholarship on affect, making
inspiring, and at times surprising, connections between Spinoza's
and Tomkins's theories of affect, the concept of affect and
psychoanalysis, and affect and animal studies in art and
literature. As a result, the concepts, vocabulary, compatibility,
and attribution of affect are challenged and extended. The chapters
in this book were originally published as a special issue of
Angelaki.
