Table of ContentsReviewsIf you've ever wondered how we've gotten to the point where virtually every cultural theory field now boasts a `bio-' or `neuro-' subfield, Carsten Strathausen's Bioaesthetics is an excellent guide. Setting the stage with scrupulous readings of historical controversies, Strathausen then incisively critiques the reductionist `biologism' he finds in `literary Darwinism,' `biopoetics,' `neuroaestethics,' and so on, before judiciously tackling Deleuze and affect theory. A powerful and insightful study, Bioaesthetics rewards the reader with clarifying and careful mappings of important contemporary concepts. -John Protevi, author of Life, War, Earth: Deleuze and the Sciences If you've ever wondered how we've gotten to the point where virtually every cultural theory field now boasts a 'bio-' or 'neuro-' subfield, Carsten Strathausen's Bioaesthetics is an excellent guide.
