<p><b>Steve Pile</b> teaches Geography at The Open University, UK. Publishing on issues concerning place and the politics of identity, Steve is the author of <i>Real Cities</i> (2005) and <i>The Body and The City</i> (1996), which both develop a psychoanalytic approach to geography. It is through these projects that he became interested in bodies and affects and their relationship to contemporary modernity. His many collaborative projects include <i>Psychoanalytic Geographies</i> (2014) edited with Paul Kingsbury, and <i>Spaces of Spirituality</i> (2018) edited with Nadia Bartolini and Sara MacKian.
<p>Bodily regimes seek to organise and control bodies. To do so, they create various schemas that render the body identifiable and knowable. Schemas associated with blood and skin, for example, enable bodies to be assigned to proper places and then policed if they appear out of place. In the face of uncertainty over the body, the policing of bodies can become oppressive and brutal. Politics, then, emerges as a struggle against oppressive bodily regimes. <p>But what if bodies are governed by more than one bodily regime? Uncertainties associated with bodies proliferate, and struggles against bodily regimes emerge from the clash between bodily regimes. This book seeks to understand the coexistence of bodily regimes and the politics that emerge from the clash between them. It shows how affects are captured by these struggles. And in these struggles, <i>Bodies, Affects, Politics</i> sees the possibility of living bodies differently.
