Bodies, Affects, Politics: The Clash of Bodily RegimesHardcover, 12 April 2021

This book seeks to understand the coexistence of bodily regimes and the politics that emerge from the clash between them:

• Presents a novel conceptual model for understanding the relationship between bodies and affects
• Reworks Rancière's notions of the distribution of the sensible and the aesthetic unconscious
• Establishes a dynamic and multiple understanding of the repressive, distributive and communicative unconscious by rethinking Freudian psychoanalysis
• Utilizes a variety of empirical materials, from Hollywood movies to Freud's case studies
• Sets its argument about politics within the context of significant social events to ensure its conceptual and empirical material is relevant to the contemporary political moment
