Distilling into concise and focused formulations many of the main
ideas that Mari Ruti has sought to articulate throughout her
writing career, this book reflects on the general state of
contemporary theory as it relates to posthumanist ethics, political
resistance, subjectivity, agency, desire, and bad feelings such as
anxiety. It offers a critique of progressive theory's tendency to
advance extreme models of revolt that have little real-life
applicability. The chapters move fluidly between several
theoretical registers, the most obvious of these being continental
philosophy, psychoanalytic theory, Butlerian ethics, affect theory,
and queer theory. One of the central aims of Distillations is to
explore the largely uncharted territory between psychoanalysis and
affect theory, which are frequently pitted against each other as
hopelessly incompatible, but which Ruti shows can be brought into a
productive dialogue.
