This book seeks to understand the coexistence of bodily regimes and the politics that emerge from the clash between them:

•Presents a novel conceptual model for understanding the relationship between bodies and affects

•Reworks Rancière's notions of the distribution of the sensible and the aesthetic unconscious

•Establishes a dynamic and multiple understanding of the repressive, distributive and communicative unconscious by rethinking Freudian psychoanalysis

•Utilizes a variety of empirical materials, from Hollywood movies to Freud's case studies

•Sets its argument about politics within the context of significant social events to ensure its conceptual and empirical material is relevant to the contemporary political moment
