Indifferent by nature
Much recent scholarship in the social sciences has recognised the importance of grasping the significance of non-human forces in both social and natural life.

This paper undertakes to refigure one such problem, an issue that in moral and political discourse in particular has presented itself as a pressing, and someti…

With this in mind, we make a case for the importance of Geo…
The Minute Interventions of Stewart Lee

Yet affirmation is, at its best, much more than this, involving an openness into the coming into being of something that is genuinely new. In this article we explore the way that humour – and specifically the stand-up comedy of Stewart Lee – can cultivate an audience's bodily receptivity to novel modes…
Worshipping Bodies
The Australian megachurch, Hillsong, is as well known for its music and spectacle as it is for the content of its religious ideas. This is largely due, as Connell argues in his geography of Hillsong, to the peculiar mix of the theological and the modern that a highly globalised and mediatised context can today produce. This paper re-examines the phenomenon of Hillsong through the theory of affect, which has gained notable analytical purchase in g…
