About this ebook
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
