Summary
How are bodies and affects formed in liberal market societies? And, conversely, what roles do affects and bodies play in the genesis, stabilization and development of market societies? These are the questions examined by the authors in several insightful and theoretically ambitious case studies. The contributions concentrate on developments in Europe, the USA and Australia from the 19th century to the present.
