Week 1: Massumi and Affect
In partnership with If I Can’t Dance I Don’t Want to be Part of Your Revolution, Site is hosting a series of reading group discussions for exploring a number of texts relating to the notion of AFFECT.
The first reading group is on Thursday 23 Feb from 6.00pm until 7.30ish, and will begin with two texts by Brian Massumi: (1. main text) The Autonomy of Affect, available here (http://www.brianmassumi.com/textes/Autonomy%20of%20Affect.PDF) and (2. supplementary text) Concrete is as Concrete Doesn’t available here (http://www.brianmassumi.com/textes/Introduction.pdf). There will also be some reference to the introduction chapter ‘An Inventory of Shimmers’ from The Affect Theory Reader, (ed.) Melissa Greg and Gregory J. Seigworth, Duke University Press, 2010.
Contact Site Gallery (events@sitegallery.org) to reserve a place on the reading group and to receive the texts.
