Affect theory as pedagogy of the 'Non-'

Abstract

What is the relationship of affect to the non- of non-philosophy? And how might asking this question also go some distance toward answering (or raising) questions about the continuing relevance of disciplinarily itself? By first taking up minor remarks made by Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari in What is Philosophy? - Especially around the work of Francois Laurelle - this essay will explore how some of the implications of affect's relation to the 'non-'intersect with matters of immanence, pedagogy, and, finally, with the resoluteness of disciplinary boundaries.
