Reviews
“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 *

Wholly reimagined from its previous incarnation, this ‘cluster of attunings’ showcases the maturity of this line of inquiry and so many of its emergent conversations, while at the same time finding the mettle to rethink the origins and legacies of ‘affect theory’ as such. An exciting offering for anyone who imagines the minor registers of experience deserves an unmistakably major volume.” - Jordan Alexander Stein, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, Fordham University ""Much of The Affect Theory Reader 2 calls attention to how theory and practice co-constitute each other rather than oppose one another."" - Jack Warren (Year's Work in Critical and Cultural Theory)
