Abstract "Therapy, Stand Up and the Gesture of Writing weaves together (and each reflects the other) an autoethnographical treatment of stories of therapy and accounts of stand-up. These will be examined through a theoretical framework primarily drawn from Delueze and Guattari, exploring the new materialisms and affect theory. The book will demonstrate how therapy and stand-up each attend to the here-and-now, flesh-to-flesh presence of bodies in rooms, the ebbs and flows of energy, how tension builds and is released: how affect - humour, sadness, anger, more - happens The book will have a strong methodological focus, exemplifying, explicating, and extending writing as a method of inquiry"-- Provided by publisher.
