- W2257450568 abstract "Consumption, in particular eating, is the prototype of all transactions with the other. In contemporary discourse, both academic and popular, it has become a locus for concerns about intrusions into the self from without. To give in to appetite, whether for the sake of hunger or of a cultivated craving, is often seen as a surrender to certain drives that threaten to undo the autonomy of the individual. But is consumption best understood as a threat to will, or, potentially, as a practice that can increase our capacity of thought and action and join us to a larger composition of productive forces in the world?This dissertation examines Spinoza’s ontology in order to identify a set of concepts and practices appropriate to the articulation of a theory of “active” consumption. Through a Spinozist lens, eating no longer appears as the act of a subject in relation to its nutritional objects, but becomes an encounter, between outside bodies/ideas and bodies/ideas already incorporated into the self, with the potential to enhance or diminish significantly one’s “power.” I use Spinoza (supplemented by Thoreau, Marx, and contemporary writers on food and diet) to articulate three techniques designed to transform passive, commodified modes of consumption into an art of self-disciplined eating that enhances human capacities for thinking and acting. Primarily through an examination of Spinoza’s understanding of “affections,” “affects,” and “adequate ideas” in relation to the “conatus,” I try to show how eating can become a practice of freedom. This is not a freedom from external influences but a freedom to belong more intelligently to and in Nature." @default.
