Duke University Press is pleased to announce the publication of a new book
of interest to Screen-L subscribers.

In *The Forms of the Affects, *Eugenie Brinkema offers a bold corrective to
the emphasis on embodiment and experience in recent affect theory, and
develops a novel mode of criticism that locates the forms of particular
affects within the specific details of cinematic and textual construction.
Through close readings of works by Roland Barthes, Hollis Frampton, Sigmund
Freud, Peter Greenaway, Michael Haneke, Alfred Hitchcock, Søren
Kierkegaard, and David Lynch, Brinkema shows that deep attention to form,
structure, and aesthetics enables a fundamental rethinking of the study of
sensation. In the process, she delves into concepts as diverse as
putrescence in French gastronomy, the role of the tear in philosophies of
emotion, Nietzschean joy as a wild aesthetic of repetition, and the
psychoanalytic theory of embarrassment. Above all, this provocative work is
a call to harness the vitality of the affective turn for a renewed
exploration of the possibilities of cinematic form.
