Gerade eine Rezension für dieses wunderbare Buch von Henrike Kohpeiss @hkohpeiss.bsky.social (Affective Societies) fertiggeschrieben und an Soziopolis abgeschickt. Ein ganz tolles Buch, das die kritische Theorie der Frankfurter Schule, die Affekttheorien und die dekoloniale und Black-Studies-Theorien zusammenbringt!



Ich habe "Bürgerliche Kälte" von Henrike Kohpeiss @hkohpeiss.bsky.social bei Soziopolis rezensiert. Ganz tolles Buch!
