Affected - Iedema, Rick

. .

Résumé :
This book?s main message is to advocate for a collaborative, affective, visualised and future-oriented research agenda. The book finds its inspiration in ?the chasm [that separates] philosophising about being shattered and thinking that is shattered? (Heidegger 1946, Letter on Humanism). To explore this chasm, the book journeys through a range of psychological and posthuman perspectives on affect and becoming. The aim of this journey is to reconcile shattered thinking-feeling with Spinoz?s ethics according to which ?our capacity to be affected determines our capacity to act?. The book elaborates this capacity to become in terms of our uniquely human propensity to experiment with counter-intuitive inversions: in this case, to call to account that which is affected, rather than that which affects. The book will appeal to students and academics working in the fields of alternative research methods, the social sciences, and organisation studies.
