Excellent- More about Affect and Attention After Deleuze and Whitehead: Ecological Attunement
Russel Duvernoy explores the metaphysics of Whitehead and Deleuze, suggesting that attention is ontologically creative and feeling and affect are ontologically prior to the consolidation of lived subjectivity. This leads to an altered existential orientation, ecological attunement, which challenges prevailing habits with regard to subjectivity. He also discusses the implications of these concepts for our lives and the potential for different concepts to lead to different ways of life.

Russell Duvernoy delves into the intricate connections between the metaphysics of Whitehead and Deleuze, exploring their profound effects on attention and affect. This exploration yields a transformative existential orientation, coined as ecological attunement, which suggests that attention is not merely passive reception but rather an ontologically creative force. Furthermore, he posits that feeling and affect precede the consolidation of lived subjectivity, challenging prevailing notions of subjectivity. The convergence of these speculative claims creates a profound disruption against the established norms of subjectivity. While these findings remain purely speculative, they emerge amidst an escalating ecological crisis and the accompanying social, political, and existential turmoil. In this context, the pursuit of speculative thinking becomes crucial, as it offers a means to grapple with the complexities of our world and explore alternative perspectives. By examining the work of Massumi, Stengers, Debaise, and Williams alongside other speculative trends such as new materialisms, posthumanisms, speculative realism, and object-oriented-ontology, Duvernoy sheds light on the ways in which metaphysical concepts shape our lives and the potential for different concepts to lead to diverse ways of being.
