Description
Affected: On Becoming Undone and Potentiation by Rick Iedema is a profound exploration of the concept of affect and its role in shaping human experience, understanding, and transformation. Iedema delves into how affect—the bodily, emotional, and sensory intensities that precede and exceed language and rational thought—disrupts our established ways of knowing and being in the world. He argues that to be "affected" is to be undone, to have our fixed identities and assumptions loosened and reshaped by encounters with the unfamiliar, the unexpected, and the powerful forces of life that operate beyond conscious control. The book weaves together insights from philosophy, critical theory, healthcare practice, and organizational studies to explore how affect potentiates new forms of becoming and action. Iedema discusses how being open to affective experiences allows individuals and collectives to move beyond rigid structures and embrace new potentials, even in contexts marked by uncertainty and complexity. Through examples from his extensive work in healthcare and communication, he illustrates how affect can be a catalyst for change, innovation, and ethical responsiveness in professional practice and everyday life. Affected is not just an academic treatise but an invitation to rethink how we engage with the world, emphasizing vulnerability, openness, and the transformative power of being undone in the face of complex, lived realities.
