Desire is a term often used in conjunction with the subject. This
desire is directed towards the real, which is defined as the
generic core of the linguistic order. As a result of the focus on
affect, the three terms-desire, the subject, the real-have been
fundamentally shaken up and called into question. Affect, in
various forms, is now a matter of concern across a wide range of
disciplines including neuroscience, psychology, the humanities, and
social sciences. All of these fields have a declared interest in
affect, in emotions and sensations, in pathos, passions, and the
senses. Desire After Affect argues that this affective euphoria
cannot be explained solely in terms of a repression of language,
logos, and reason. It argues that the affective turn is symptomatic
of a fundamental shift in modes of thinking about the human
condition. It explores what this means for the human and the
posthuman, animal and machine, and calls for a new theory of
subjectivation, a philosophy of media affect.
