      abstract = {In this book, Rick Iedema shows with profound analytical  precision the existential strength of being moved and being  affected. Departing from a life being shattered, the books  exposes with the help of Spinoza, Sloterdijk, and others,  the many dimensions of becoming. Written during the  COVID-19 crisis and extreme bushfires a short distance  away, the book is a plea for new structures of feeling and  for a new way of doing social science research. The books  argument is that todays complexity and pace of change are  too intense to be adequately represented purely by  distanced and objectifying analysis. His discussion at the  end of the book about potentiation and anthropotechnics  shows us the way towards personal and intellectual courage:  one that allows uncertainty and nurtures emergent kinds of  sense, knowledge and intelligence. This book's main message  is to advocate for a collaborative, affective, visualised  and future-oriented research agenda. The book finds its  inspiration in "the chasm [that separates] philosophising  about being shattered and thinking that is shattered"  (Heidegger 1946, Letter on Humanism). To explore this  chasm, the book journeys through a range of psychological  and posthuman perspectives on affect and becoming. The aim  of this journey is to reconcile shattered thinking-feeling  with Spinozas ethics according to which our capacity to be  affected determines our capacity to act. The book  elaborates this capacity to become in terms of our uniquely  human propensity to experiment with counter-intuitive  inversions: in this case, to call to account that which is  affected, rather than that which affects. The book will  appeal to students and academics working in the fields of  alternative research methods, the social sciences, and  organisation studies. Rick Iedema is Professor and Director  of the Centre for Team-based Practice and Learning in  Health Care at Kings College London, UK. His main research  interests include interprofessional collaboration and  communication and service users involvement in practice  development. He has pioneered innovative organisational and  healthcare communication research methodologies, including  video-reflexive ethnography},
