The Politics of Feeling, with Anna Secor, is now out! It’s a book of propositions about the affective politics of three political forms - right wing populism, progressivism, liberalism - in the present post 2008 conjunctural crisis. Link in next tweet …

First sighting of the new book - The Politics of Feeling - in real life, via Jonny Darling It’s so exciting to see something you’ve thought about and written for years (with Anna) exist - very different feeling to a journal article!

"Ten people, including six children, have been killed in an Israeli air strike while waiting to fill water containers in central Gaza on Sunday, emergency service officials say." "Eyewitnesses said a drone fired a missile at a crowd queuing ... next to a water tanker"

It’s sort of genuinely amazing, and an utter tragedy, how stupid and inept labour is - this just looks petty and vindictive, as well as gives a sense of a government already in crisis (I imagine they think it makes them look ‘strong’)

Happy to share my new paper, ‘Affective exits: Leaving as desire against neoliberal futurity’ in SCGeog Journal Focussing on the Indian IT industry, it bridges emotional and labour geographies, offering ‘weighted temporalities’ as a way to think through the felt quality of time.

In the chapter on liberalism in our book we write about the intense animosity of the liberal centre for anything on the left - a symptom of a liberalism in crisis, desperately trying and failing to reestablish hegemony. This ‘cartoon’ is a perfect example of it

One really worrying development (of many!), and example of resonances across US and U.K. politics - Reform politicians over last few days using ‘Antifa’ to delegitimise/attack
