Book synopsis

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 and 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 symptom 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.
