Architectural Affects after Deleuze and Guattari

<p><em>Architectural Affects after Deleuze and Guattari</em> is the first sustained survey into ways of theorising affect in architecture. It reflects on the legacy and influence of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari in the uptake of affect in architectural discourse and practice and stresses the importance of the political in discussions of affect. It is a timely antidote to an enduring fixation on architectural phenomenology in the field.</p><p>The contributors offer a variety of approaches to the challenges presented in discussing the relation between affect and architecture and how this is contextualised in the broader field of affect studies. Ranging from evaluations of architectural and urban productions and practices to inquiries into architectural experience to modes of affective inquiry in education to experimental affective writing each contribution to this seminal volume suggests ways of developing a more sustained approach to a crucial thematic domain.</p><p>The volume will be of use to students at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels; researchers theorists and historians of architecture and related urban and spatial disciplines; the fields of social science and cultural theory; and to philosophy in particular the studies of Deleuze and Guattari and Baruch Spinoza.</p>
