394<p>The London launch party for <em>Against Affect</em> took place on 14th April 2026 in Bloomsbury. A group of academics, readers, friends and journalists met to discuss and celebrate the publication. <br><br>Discussion ranged over UK Higher Education&#8217;s ambivalent attitude towards freedom of expression, the affective status of the lie, and the lures, benefits and risks of  identity claims.</p>

454<p><strong>Description:</strong><br><br><em>Against Affect</em> interrogates shibboleths of feeling and reason and their relationship with ideas of identity, gender, and freedom in the twenty-first century. 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 “affective turn” 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 prioritization—and exploitation—of 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>

471
472
473
474<p>“For progressives, a moment of truth arrives when their battles against old dogmas merely prove to entrench new ones. In&nbsp;<em>Against Affect</em>&nbsp;Lisa Downing . . . throws down the gauntlet to everyone active in the humanities and social sciences today.”—Eric Heinze, author of&nbsp;<em>The Most Human Right: Why Free Speech Is Everything</em></p>
475
476
477
478<p>“This is a timely and deeply important book in which Lisa Downing offers up a concerted intellectual assault on affect theory—and the broader cultural turn to emotion—that 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.&nbsp;<em>Against Affect</em>&nbsp;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.”—Darren Langdridge, author of&nbsp;<em>Sexual Citizenship and Social Change: A Dialectical Approach to Narratives of Tradition and Critique</em></p>
479
480
481
482<p>“An indispensable critique of the contemporary epistemic and affective terrain. Its proposal for a redistribution of reason is a crucial path out of this terrain. . . . The boldness of the diagnostic and critical dimensions of this argument leave the book with few peers.”—Anna Kornbluh, author of&nbsp;<em>Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late Capitalism</em></p>

514
515
516
517<p>The articles in this volume take as their object the concept of freedom broadly – and of freedom of expression in particular – and view them through the lens of insights from modern critical theory and the continental philosophical tradition. Some articles revisit works of key theorists to shine fresh light on their conceptual understanding of &#8220;freedom&#8221;, 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 &#8220;cancel culture&#8221;, 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 – who is allowed to align themselves with that virtue along sexed, gendered, racialized, and class lines – permeates the articles.</p>
