EMOTIONAL CAPITALISM

As today’s emotional capitalism increasingly carries out its core operation of regulating the psycho-energy of individuals, the need to analyse a variety of methods for emotional production becomes important. By bringing together the works of Byung-Chul Han, Bernard Stiegler, Emmanuel Levinas, and Judith Butler, this bold analysis offers a fresh perspective on the operation of emotional capitalism today, with various possibilities for evolving a sensitivity to social injustice and the suffering of others through an ethical, affective, and bodily inter-subjective connection.
