Lisa Downing starts with the familiar premise that emotion has been historically gendered and racialized since the Enlightenment, with women, people of color, and other nonnormative subjects associated with emotionality, and only white men with logic and reason. The âaffective turnâ in the academic humanities attempted to redress this injustice in the 1990s, and affect theory, ubiquitous today, revalorized precisely what was excluded from logos: the bodily, the emotive, and the experiential. But how effective has this strategy truly been in changing perceptions of marginalized forms of knowledge and subjectivity? <em>Against Affect</em> argues that the academic affective turn has prompted a broader cultural one, marked by increasing prioritizationâand exploitationâof feeling over reason, issuing from both the political left and right.</p> 455 456 457 458<p>Using a series of case studies, <em>Against Affect</em> explores how the deployment of a language of emotion in both the academic and cultural spheres constitutes a new normativity. In thinking against affect, Downing questions the efficacy and desirability of idealizing feeling and proposes instead the redistribution of reason.</p> 459 460 461 462<p><strong>Table of Contents</strong>:</p> 463 464 465 466<p>Acknowledgements<br>Provocations<br>Introduction<br>1.

In <em>Against Affect</em> Lisa Downing . . . throws down the gauntlet to everyone active in the humanities and social sciences today.ââEric Heinze, author of <em>The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech Is Everything</em></p> 475 476 477 478<p>âThis is a timely and deeply important book in which Lisa Downing offers up a concerted intellectual assault on affect theoryâand the broader cultural turn to emotionâthat should make even the most trenchant of advocates pay attention. This is not mere attack or deconstruction, however, but instead a clear and precise argument for the return of rationality, grounded in a feminist neo-enlightenment, to academia and Western culture more widely. <em>Against Affect</em> is not a book that can or should be ignored by anyone interested in navigating a route through present cultural challenges that is progressive but also grounded in reason.ââDarren Langdridge, author of <em>Sexual Citizenship and Social Change: A Dialectical Approach to Narratives of Tradition and Critique</em></p> 479 480 481 482<p>âAn indispensable critique of the contemporary epistemic and affective terrain. Its proposal for a redistribution of reason is a crucial path out of this terrain. . . .

Some articles revisit works of key theorists to shine fresh light on their conceptual understanding of “freedom”, examining how they articulate it and how they arrived at it in genealogical terms. Others link concepts and ideas from critical theory to live contemporary debates, such as those concerning online freedom, campus no-platforming, and so-called “cancel culture”, and use the tools of critical theory to nuance discourse surrounding these often sensationalized and polarizing topics. A critical awareness of how power operates in the deployment of the language of freedom â who is allowed to align themselves with that virtue along sexed, gendered, racialized, and class lines â permeates the articles.</p> 518 519 520 521<p><strong>Table of Contents:</strong></p> 522 523 524 525<p>‘Introduction’ – Lisa Downing</p> 526 527 528 529<p>‘”Freeze Peach”: A Fruitful Formulation or a Recipe for Heated Discord?’ Followed by ‘A Response to Keith Reader’s “Freeze Peach”‘ – Keith Reader and Ian James</p> 530 531 532 533<p>‘Author Functions and Freedom: “Michel Foucault” and “Ayn Rand” in the Anglophone “Culture Wars”‘ – Lisa Downing</p> 534 535 536 537<p>‘Who Gets a Hearing?
