About The Book
As today's emotional capitalism increasingly carries out its core operation of regulating the psycho-energy of individuals, the need to analyse a variety of methods for emotional production becomes important. By bringing together the works of Byung-Chul Han, Bernard Stiegler, Emmanuel Levinas, and Judith Butler, this bold analysis offers a fresh perspective on the operation of emotional capitalism today, with various possibilities for evolving a sensitivity to social injustice and the suffering of others through an ethical, affective, and bodily inter-subjective connection.

The Politics of the Language Economy: Emotional Capitalism critically interrogates the negative impacts of capitalism's growing manipulation of our emotional life and subjectivity through different regimes and discourses. Besides offering a comprehensive analysis of the mechanism of today's emotional capitalism, Peter Lok also asks how 'our repressed emotions' which have been 'distorted' and 'regulated' by 'emotional capitalism' can be transformed into 'ethical emotions'. What kinds of emotional experiences can transform a self-centered subject into an other-centered subject? This book has offered an innovative contribution to the topic of emotional capitalism with theoretical courage and critical insight.
