The demise of the modern self-centred subject does not engender a
waning but a politicisation of affect: The site of passion is now
no longer the individual's interiority but the contact zone of
intersubjective encounters. The public and political status of the
emotions thus becomes apparent, making visible how affects are
embedded in and shaped by discursive regimes. Neither spontaneous
nor overdetermined, passion is therefore not the "other" of reason
but a deeply social energy that fuels political, cultural and
everyday practices. The Politics of Passion combines theoretical
reframings of affect and emotion in global modernity with analyses
of concrete instances of politics of passion from above or from
below. By including debates and struggles in Western, Asian and
African contexts, the volume attends to the actual plurality of
affective rationalities and politics beyond a Eurocentric
framework.
