Publishing on issues concerning place and the politics of identity, Steve is the author of \u003ci\u003eReal Cities\u003c\/i\u003e (2005) and \u003ci\u003eThe Body and The City\u003c\/i\u003e (1996), which both develop a psychoanalytic approach to geography. It is through these projects that he became interested in bodies and affects and their relationship to contemporary modernity. His many collaborative projects include \u003ci\u003ePsychoanalytic Geographies\u003c\/i\u003e (2014) edited with Paul Kingsbury, and \u003ci\u003eSpaces of Spirituality\u003c\/i\u003e (2018) edited with Nadia Bartolini and Sara MacKian.   \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBodily regimes seek to organise and control bodies. To do so, they create various schemas that render the body identifiable and knowable. Schemas associated with blood and skin, for example, enable bodies to be assigned to proper places and then policed if they appear out of place. In the face of uncertainty over the body, the policing of bodies can become oppressive and brutal. Politics, then, emerges as a struggle against oppressive bodily regimes. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut what if bodies are governed by more than one bodily regime? Uncertainties associated with bodies proliferate, and struggles against bodily regimes emerge from the clash between bodily regimes. This book seeks to understand the coexistence of bodily regimes and the politics that emerge from the clash between them. It shows how affects are captured by these struggles. And in these struggles, \u003ci\u003eBodies, Affects, Politics\u003c\/i\u003e sees the possibility of living bodies differently.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47988849737957,"sku":"NP9781118901984","price":94.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781118901984.jpg?v=1761781768","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/bodies-affects-politics-isbn-9781118901984","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
