The ''good'' draws on Deleuze and Spinoza''s affective ethical thought; ''place'' from contemporary political geography; and the ''no'' theorized via a reading of Ahmed''s critique of happiness and Foucault''s work on power.\u003cstrong\u003e  \u003c\/strong\u003eAmong the first to offer an extended reading of utopia through the lens of affect, whilst maintaining a critical stance \u003ci\u003evis a vis\u003c\/i\u003e the recent ''affective turn'' in the social sciences.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49643233313016,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":135.1,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0789\/8208\/6904\/files\/9781138368248-1.jpg?v=1783645043","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.au\/products\/9781138368248","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
