Synopsis

Not only in Silicon Valley or in startups, but also in social media and in the populist movements of the present, a new technique of government has established: people are influenced by targeted stimulation of emotions and affects. This book develops a philosophical theory on the connection of affectivity, power, and subjectivation. At the same time, it takes the social and economic conditions of Western societies into view. It contributes to critical social philosophy and to a theory of governmentality.
