The much anticipated The Affect Theory Reader 2: Worldings, Tensions, Futures, co-edited by Prof Gregory J. Seigworth and GSEJ founding member Prof Carolyn Pedwell will be published by the Duke University Press this November.
Here is advance praise –
“The Affect Theory Reader 2 surveys the burgeoning field whose development its predecessor did so much to catalyze. In the intervening thirteen years, the study of affect has spread its capillaries across an ever-growing spectrum of disciplines, while at the same time expanding the scope of its own problematics. This new anthology skillfully presents a much-needed digest of the state of the field today. The essays it brings together address a wide range of topics, opening new perspectives on some of the most pressing issues of our time, including, in a reckoning that is long overdue for the field, an emphasis on issues of race. This is an excellent and timely volume that readers interested in affect studies and allied areas will find indispensable.” — Brian Massumi, author of Couplets: Travels in Speculative Pragmatism
