“Self”-Containment on Messy Grounds

Marie-Luise Angerer was a professor of Media Studies at the University of Potsdam, Acting Director of the Brandenburg Centre for Media Studies (ZeM), and spokesperson of the graduate program Sensing: The Knowledge of Sensitive Media. Her research focussed on the relation between media technology, affect theory, and the re-formulation of the inside and outside of body and brain through the parameters of neuroscience and media technology. Among her many publications are Ecology of Affect: Intensive Milieus and Contingent Encounters (meson press, 2017), Desire After Affect (Rowman & Littlefield, 2014, German original diaphanes, 2007), and Timing of Affect: Epistemologies, Aesthetics, Politics (with Bernd Bösel and Michaela Ott, diaphanes 2014). Her last book on the Nonconscious (meson press 2022) deals with the question of synching processes between mind and machine.
