In On the Inconvenience of Other People Lauren Berlant continues to
explore our affective engagement with the world. Berlant focuses on
the encounter with and the desire for the bother of other people
and objects, showing that to be driven toward attachment is to
desire to be inconvenienced. Drawing on a range of sources,
including Last Tango in Paris, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Claudia
Rankine, Christopher Isherwood, Bhanu Kapil, the Occupy movement,
and resistance to anti-Black state violence, Berlant poses
inconvenience as an affective relation and considers how we might
loosen our attachments in ways that allow us to build new forms of
life. Collecting strategies for breaking apart a world in need of
disturbing, the book's experiments in thought and writing cement
Berlant's status as one of the most inventive and influential
thinkers of our time.
