Abstract

The affective turn includes a wide and varied production of texts and interdisciplinary discussions over which it can be useful to reconstruct its key lines from a philosophical perspective. The common thread, in this view, is clearly represented by the interpretation that Deleuze offers of Spinoza's thought. From this angle, the affective turn has profitably developed questions about the relationship between affect and technology, particularly between the somatic and the social in the digital age. The purpose of this theoretical reconstruction is to allow further reflections on the material possibilities for thinking of an affective subjectivity, an affective society and an ethics of affect in a historical and cultural moment marked by a major crisis of the subject, relationships and politics.
