  • More about Matter, Affect, AntiNormativity: Theory Beyond Dualism


Dualistic thinking has been questioned by writers associated with the material, ontological, and affective turns, but these and other writers have reproduced dualistic theorizing. Caroline Braunmühl argues that there are dualistic patterns in significant contributions to queer theory and Foucauldian diagnoses of the present. She offers specific alternatives to dualistic and identitarian ways of framing conceptual pairs such as matter/mind, affect/discourse, and negativity/affirmation.

Dualistic thinking has come under scrutiny from certain writers associated with the material, ontological, and affective turns. However, these and other writers linked to these turns have also engaged in dualistic theorizing. Caroline Braunmühl further demonstrates that dualistic patterns can be found in significant contributions to queer theory and Foucauldian diagnoses of the present. Taking a sympathetic stance towards the critical endeavors of poststructuralist and related theorists, she examines the works of Sara Ahmed, Karen Barad, Michael Hardt, Antonio Negri, Michel Foucault, and others. The book offers specific alternatives to dualistic and identitarian ways of framing conceptual pairs such as matter/mind, affect/discourse, and negativity/affirmation.
