En savoir plus sur le livre

Exploring the intersection of desire and social inequality, this work examines contemporary South African literature's portrayal of affective experiences. Jason Price critiques how capitalist and colonial definitions of desire perpetuate dominance, while highlighting the unpredictable nature of nonhuman desires, particularly in relation to animals. He suggests that these encounters can inspire new perspectives that challenge existing power structures. By engaging with indigenous concepts of desire, the book envisions a transformative future for South Africa, distinct from its historical context.
