Deleuze and Affect

Bol

Deleuze and Affect brings together work from emerging and established scholars to address and reassess the role of affect in Deleuze’s work and its legacy in the critical humanities. Affects are not merely new sensations; they are, more radically, new sensibilities. They therefore have the potential to redefine the very conditions of experience, to open new relations to the world, and to reshape each discipline. The multidisciplinary contributors to this volume place affect squarely at the intersection of diverse fields and disciplines from philosophy and literature, visual studies and film studies, art and architecture, through to politics and economics. In an age in which the sciences unlock more and more secrets of a body that is also, paradoxically, becoming more and more precarious, this volume examines the stakes and spectrum of what it means 'to affect’ and 'to be affected'.
