Immaterial Bodies

Exploring the affective capacities of both human and non-human bodies, the book delves into the complexities surrounding affect studies in the social sciences. It challenges traditional notions of mind over matter by examining practices like voice hearing, hypnosis, and the placebo effect. By highlighting the paradoxes and tensions within these experiences, it offers fresh insights into cultural theory and the emerging focus on affect, making it an essential read for those interested in the intersections of emotion, experience, and social dynamics.
