Description

Explore the complex relationship between affect, embodiment, and mediation in Immaterial Bodies. Published by Sage Publications in association with Theory, Culture & Society, this work offers a fresh look at the affective capacities of both human and non-human bodies. Blackman addresses the challenges found within the affective turn of the social sciences, providing a unique perspective on how these forces operate in the real world. This book examines the tensions and paradoxes inherent in affect studies. By focusing on specific practices and experiences, the text explores phenomena such as voice hearing, suggestion, hypnosis, and telepathy. It also investigates the placebo effect and rhythm to provide a grounded understanding of these concepts. Rather than following the traditional idea of mind over matter, the author discusses the risks of creating a false distinction between the two, offering a deep look into how bodies experience and mediate affect.
