This book considers the political potential of affective
experiences of desire as reflected in contemporary South African
literature. Jason Price argues that definitions of desire deployed
by capitalist and colonial culture maintain social inequality by
managing relations to ensure a steady flow of capital and pleasure
for the dominant classes, whereas affective encounters with animals
reveal the nonhuman nature of desire, a biopower that, in its
unpredictability, can frustrate regimes of management and control.
Price wonders how animals' different desires might enable new modes
of thought to positively transform and resist the status quo. This
book contends that South African literary works employ nonhuman
desire and certain indigenous notions of desire to imagine a South
Africa that can be markedly different from the past.
