Nothing Personal?! Essays on Affect, Gender and Queerness

Personal, but not a personal thing: affect is at the heart of some of the most pressing issues of social and political life. If how and what we feel indeed shape and form the ways we live and vice versa, how does his dynamic relate to the experience of gender and queerness? With insights from cultural studies, the social sciences as well as artistic practice, the essays in this book delve into the manifold and messy dimensions of public feeling and emotion.
