Abstract

"Habit's Pathways considers the intellectual and political histories of habit. Tony Bennett takes great care in analyzing how discourses of habit and the apparatuses that deploy them are bound up in various forms of power. Bennett examines how habits as repetitive patterns of behavior are conjoined with population regulation by authorities and can also reify structures of power. The book returns again and again to the crossroad between "habit then" and "habit now," asking how the ways we think about habit have changed and continue to change. Bennett contextualizes habits through what he calls "architectures of the person": the senses, will, reflex, instinct, the nervous system, brain and consciousness. This focus comes through especially in his engagement with the works of Gilles Deleuze, Bruno Latour, Elizabeth Grosz, Catherine Malabou, and others. Habit's Pathways works at the intersection of philosophy, critical theory, history, and digital media studies"--
