Conceived as a companion volume to \u003ci\u003eParables for the Virtual\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCouplets\u003c\/i\u003e addresses the key concepts of \u003ci\u003eParables\u003c\/i\u003e from different angles and contextualizes them, allowing their stakes to be more fully felt. Rather than organizing the essays chronologically or by topic, Massumi pairs them into couplets to encourage readers to make connections across conventional subject matter categories, to encounter disjunctions, and to link different phases in the evolution of his work. In his analyses of topics ranging from art, affect, and architecture to media theory, political theory, and the philosophy of experience, Massumi charts a field on which a family of conceptual problems plays out in ways that bear on the potentials for acting and perceiving the world. As an essential guide to Massumi's oeuvre, \u003ci\u003eCouplets\u003c\/i\u003e is both a primer for his new readers and a supplemental resource for those already engaged with his thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBrian Massumi is a Canadian philosopher and social theorist, and, until recently, Professor of Communication at the University of Montreal.
