Reihe: Critical Theory and Contemporary Society

This book examines the vital role of affect and feeling within the work of the early Frankfurt School. The author investigates a range of concepts – including melancholia, hope, (un)happiness, objects, and mimesis – and argues that a contemporary reading of critical theory needs to accommodate an adequate understanding of affect.
