Brian Massumi

Brian Massumi is a philosopher and cultural theorist known for exploring how our emotions and bodily experiences shape our understanding of the world. He emphasizes that much of our meaning and perception is processed through sensations, feelings, and intuitive responses that occur before explicit thought. Massumi's work often discusses how these immediate, visceral reactions influence culture, politics, and art, highlighting the dynamic relationship between body and mind. His ideas help us understand how unconscious sensory experiences impact our decisions and interactions, emphasizing the importance of affect—our feelings and intensities—in human experience.
