I would, however, like to make specific mention of my discussions with Bernd Bösel, Michaela Ott, Anna Tuschling and Rolf Grossmann, who prepared and ran the international symposium Timing of Af- fect1 with me. The workshop Re-working Affect at Berlin’s ICI,2 to which I was invited by Brigitte Bargetz, also encouraged me to re- thinkthepoliticalandsocietaldimensionsofaffect.Iamgratefulto Claus Pias and Martin Warnke, who in the winter term of 2013 invited me as senior fellow to the Institute for Advanced Study in “MediaCulturesofComputerSimulation”atLeuphanaUniversity inLüneburg,whereIwasabletobeginmyworkonthefinalchap- ter. Thanks to an invitation from Chris Salter, Brian Massumi, and Erin Manning, I was able to continue this work at Hexagram and SenseLab in Montreal in the spring of 2014.
