商品簡介
Providing a forum to rethink intimacies through the lens of affect theories, Affective intimacies introduces new ways of understanding affective intimacies. In particular, it addresses the embodied, affective and psychic aspects of intimate entanglements across various timely phenomena. It also maps the potential of affect theories in renewing feminist debates concerning intimate relations. One of the challenges in the examination of intimacy is to look at the socio-material constitution of intimacy and its more-than-human constituencies. Responding to this challenge, Affective intimacies offers new perspectives on the intimate as sensed and lived, networked across human and non-human bodies. A fascinating contribution to the interdisciplinary field of affect studies, Affective intimacies will appeal to scholars and post-graduates interested in fields such as gender studies, queer studies, sociology, anthropology, media studies and cultural studies.
