Shame And Its Sisters: A Silvan Tomkins Reader,New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
The question of affect is central to critical theory, psychology, politics, and the entire range of the humanities; but no discipline, including psychoanalysis, has offered a theory of affect that would be rich enough to account for the delicacy and power, the evanescence and durability, the bodily rootedness and the cultural variability of human emotion.SilvanTomkins (19111991) was one of the most radical and imaginative psychologists of the twentieth century. In Affect, Imagery, Consciousness, a fourvolume work published over the last thirty years of his life, Tomkins developed an ambitious theory of affect steeped in cybernetics and systems theory as well as in psychoanalysis, ethology, and neuroscience. The implications of his conceptually daring and phenomenologically suggestive theory are only nowin the context of postmodernismbeginning to be understood. With Shame and Its Sisters, editors Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick and Adam Frank make available for the first time an engaging and accessible selection of Tomkinss work.Featuring intensive examination of several key affects, particularly shame and anger, this volume contains many of Tomkinss most haunting, diagnostically incisive, and theoretically challenging discussions. An introductory essay by the editors places Tomkinss work in the context of postwar information technologies and will prompt a reexamination of some of the underlying assumptions of recent critical work in cultural studies and other areas of the humanities. The text is also accompanied by a biographical sketch of Tomkins by noted psychologist Irving E. Alexander, Tomkinss longtime friend and collaborator.
