This paper poses questions on the possibility of styles of working besides “affirmationism.” We hone in on three ostensible limits of affirmationism: affirmationist vitalism, affirmationist politics, and affirmationist critique. Encountering these limits, we argue for the ongoing need to embrace attempts to think and act that elude, or dispense with, the propensity to affirm.
