Affective neuroscience, emotional regulation, and international relations
International relations (IR) has witnessed an emerging interest in neuroscience, particularly for its relevance to a now widespread scholarship on emotions. Contributing to this scholarship, this paper draws on the subfields of affective neuroscience and neuropsychology, which remain largely unexplored in IR. Firstly, the paper draws on affective neuroscience in illuminating affect's defining role in consciousness and omnipresence in social behav…
Narcissistic Rage and Neoliberal Reproduction
Combining political economy and depth psychology, this article seeks to elucidate the socio-psychical underpinnings of neoliberalism’s resilience following the global financial crisis. In explicating neoliberalism’s reproduction, the analysis employs self psychologist Heinz Kohut’s theorisation of narcissistic development. Kohut conceives narcissism as a normal condition driving self-formation, but claims that obstructions in its development resu…
Aesthetic International Political Economy
Veblen, Bataille and Financial Innovation
This article advances towards the reconceptualization of financial innovation. It examines the calamitous role of financial innovation in the global financial crisis, developing a non-rational theorization of finance within the social economy that factors in the role of affect. Outlining the foundations for such an approach, the analysis draws on Thorstein Veblen and Georges Bataille, whose work encompasses psycho-social conceptions of political-…
Pathological Vulnerability and the Politics of Climate Change
We have entered a period of earth history referred to — without dint of hyperbole — as the anthropocene (Crutzen and Stoermer, 2001). Despite what one may encounter in the popular press, and despite the claims of a small yet highly vocal group of contrarian scientists, the overwhelming consensus of climate scientists is that average global temperatures are rising due to human intervention in the environment (Doran and Kendall Zimmerman, 2009). Wh…
The Psycho- and Sociogenesis of Neoliberalism
This analysis examines the psycho-social pressures that gave rise to neoliberal subjectivity in the 1970s, drawing insights from the work of Norbert Elias, Sigmund Freud and Georges Bataille. Specifically, it looks to new codes of shame regarding feelings of superiority that were developing with the civil and women's rights movements as pivotal in neoliberalism's ascendancy. These codes of shame heightened psychical tensions for the normalized Fo…

Nature as adversary: The Rise of Modern Economic Conceptions of Nature
This article problematizes the reliance of ecological economics on neo-classical economic analysis by revealing an adversarial conception of nature in modern economic ontology. It traces the rise in post-classical economics of this adversarial conception, which superseded the idea of a natural moral economy in classical political economy. The origins of this transformation in the conception of nature are located in the breakdown of the long-stand…
Affect and the Rise of the Self-Regulating Market
This article outlines a post-rationalist approach to international political economy that factors in the role of affect in social causation. There are key historical junctures where social transformations cannot be neatly explained by instrumental logics, such as the profit motive or the pursuit of increasing productive efficiency. Affect, in the form of anxiety and aggression, overdetermines social behaviour in ways that belie conventional notio…
