Classiquement, dans l'histoire de la philosophie, les affects ont toujours été compris comme la part de l'involontaire dans l'existence humaine : le sujet les subirait dans une passivité totale. En croisant les regards contemporains de linguistes, sociologues, psychanalystes, philosophes et anthropologues, cet ouvrage entend changer cette approche simpliste et réductrice, notamment en proposant une généalogie de l'illusion d'indépendance du sujet vis-à-vis de ses affects.L'enjeu est de ressaisir au présent les trajectoires des affects. Car ceux-ci ne peuvent pas être appréhendés ni auscultés en faisant abstraction de l'environnement où ils émergent. C'est depuis un certain état des corps, du social, à partir de l'expérience contemporaine du travail, des mobilisations et des résistances et des actes de parole que l'on peut analyser et comprendre les courbures affectives d'un sujet, et c'est par là que ce sujet affecté peut apprendre à faire usage de toutes les ressources de son affectivité.Avec les contributions de : Thamy Ayouch, Éric Bidaud, Emma Breton, Valérie Brunetière, Julien Chandelier, Patrick Cingolani, Catherine Cyssau, Octave Debary, Julie Alev Dilmaç, Anne Eon, Marie-Luce Gélard, Christian Godin, Élise Huchet, Laurie Laufer, Guillaume Le Blanc, Lucile Richard, Ouriel Rosenblum, Jan Spurk, Federico Tarragoni, Ayça Yilmaz Deniz.

This book explores the various manifestations of affects in British theatre of the 21st century. The introduction gives a concise survey of existing and emerging theoretical and research trends and argues in favour of a capacious understanding of affects that mediates between more autonomous and more social approaches. The twelve chapters in the collection investigate major works in Britain by playwrights and theatre makers including Mojisola Adebayo, Mike Bartlett, Alice Birch, Caryl Churchill, Tim Crouch and Andy Smith, Rachel De-lahay, Reginald Edmund, James Fritz, David Greig, Idris Goodwin, Zinnie Harris, Kieran Hurley, Lucy Kirkwood, Anders Lustgarten, Yolanda Mercy, Anthony Neilson, Lucy Prebble, Sh!t Theatre, Penelope Skinner, Stef Smith, Kae Tempest and debbie tucker green. The interpretations identify significant areas of tension as they relate affects to the fields of cognition, politics and hope. In this, the chapters uncover interrelations of thought, intention and empathy; they reveal the nexus between identities, institutions and ideology; and, finally, they explore how theatre can accomplish the transition from a sense of crisis to utopian visions.

Representations of feeling in medieval literature are varied and complex. This new collection of essays demonstrates that the history of emotions and affect theory are similarly insufficient for investigating the intersection of body and mind that late Middle English literatures evoke. While medieval studies has generated a rich scholarly literature on 'affective piety', this collection charts an intersectional new investigation of affects, feelings, and emotions in non-religious contexts. From Geoffrey Chaucer to Gavin Douglas, and from practices of witnessing to the adoration of objects, essays in this volume analyze the coexistence of emotion and affect in late medieval representations of feeling.

The Routledge Companion to Literature and Emotion shows how the "affective turn" in the humanities applies to literary studies. Deftly combining the scientific elements with the literary, the book provides a theoretical and topical introduction to reading literature and emotion. Looking at a variety of formats including novels, drama, film, graphic fiction, and lyric poetry the book also includes focus on specific authors such as Shakespeare, Chaucer, Jane Austen, Virginia Woolf, and Viet Thanh Nguyen. The volume introduces the theoretical groundwork, covering such categories as affect theory, affective neuroscience, cognitive science, evolution, and history of emotions. It examines the range of emotions that play a special role in literature, including happiness, fear, aesthetic delight, empathy, and sympathy, as well as aspects of literature (style, narrative voice, and others) that bear on emotional response. Finally, it explores ethical and political concerns that are often intertwined with emotional response, including racism, colonialism, disability, ecology, gender, sexuality, and trauma. This is a crucial guide to the ways in which new, interdisciplinary understandings of emotion and affect--in fields from neuroscience to social theory--are changing the study of literature and of the ways those new understandings are impacted by work on literature also.
