Recenzje

"In this book, the authors delve deep into the affective vibrancies and forces of digital life. As they show, feelings are the foundation of many online interactions and content. Feelings are aroused with and through the internet and compel us to want to stay engaged online - to upload, like, comment, share and post photos, videos, emojis, GIFs and memes. This book provides important insights into these processes."

Prof. Deborah Lupton, author of Data Selves: More-than-Human Perspectives (Polity) and Digital Food Cultures (Routledge)

"From affective atmospheres to woebots, from artificial intelligence to the emojification of the everyday, Darren Ellis and Ian Tucker pursue how bodies, collective and individual, are continually shifting in conjunction with technological and digital processes. Always empirically situated, Ellis and Tucker's nuanced psycho-social approach to affect and emotion reveals possibilities for critical intervention into our contemporary moment while simultaneously opening pathways for future-oriented analyses to undertake."

 Prof. Gregory J. Seigworth, co-editor of the Affect Theory Reader (Duke University Press, 2010) and co-editor of Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry
