Nigel Thrift: Non-Representational Theory: Space, Politics, Affect (2007)
Filed under book | Tags: · affect, anthropology, cultural studies, everyday, geography, life, non-representational theory, politics, social theory, sociology, space
“This book presents a distinctive approach to the politics of everyday life. Ranging across a variety of spaces in which politics and the political unfold, it questions what is meant by perception, representation and practice, with the aim of valuing the fugitive practices that exist on the margins of the known. It revolves around three key functions.
It introduces the rather dispersed discussion of non-representational theory to a wider audience; provides the basis for an experimental rather than a representational approach to the social sciences and humanities; and begins the task of constructing a different kind of political genre.”

Featured in this issue as an ‘extended article’ (it comes out to 100 pages!) is my latest: Post-Cinematic Affect: On Grace Jones, Boarding Gate and Southland Tales.
The article is freely available for download; it comprises about two thirds of my forthcoming book Post-Cinematic Affect, appearing sometime later this year from Zero Books.
