Expertly framed by Patricia Clough’s introduction, the volume presents a diversity of voices engaged in a shared exploration of the conceptual landscape stretching beyond the bend of ‘the affective turn.’”—Brian Massumi, author of \u003ci\u003eParables for the Virtual: Movement, Affect, Sensation\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This volume attempts to move beyond a philosophy of affect to a social science of the affects. By attending to the simultaneous engagement of the body and the intellectual, and the reciprocity between both, our understanding of the social is enhanced by the affective turn in much the same way as the linguistic turn and the postmodern turn have done previously. . . . I highly recommend the opening essay to those wishing to frame the affective turn in their own work.” -- Scott Grills * Canadian Journal of Sociology *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments vii\u003cbr\u003e Foreword: What Affects Are Good For \/ Michael Hardt ix\u003cbr\u003e Introduction \/ Patricia Ticineto Clough 1\u003cbr\u003e The Parched Tongue \/ Hosu Kim 34\u003cbr\u003e Techno-Cinema: Image Matters in the Affective Unfoldings of Analog Cinema and New Media \/ Jamie “Skye” Bianco 47\u003cbr\u003e Slowness: Notes toward an Economy of Differencial Rates of Being \/ Karen Wendy Gilbert 77\u003cbr\u003e Myocellular Transduction: When My Cells Trained My Body-Mind \/ Deborah Gambs 106\u003cbr\u003e Women’s Work and the Ambivalent Gift of Entropy \/ David Staples 119\u003cbr\u003e Voices from the Teum: Synesthetic Trauma and the Ghosts of the Korean Diaspora \/ Grace M.
