How to Do Things with Affects develops affect as a highly productive
concept for both cultural analysis and the reading of aesthetic forms. Shifting
the focus from individual experiences and the human interiority of personal
emotions and feelings toward the agency of cultural objects, social
arrangements, and aesthetic matter, the book examines how affects operate and
are triggered by aesthetic forms, media events, and cultural practices.
Transgressing disciplinary boundaries and emphasizing close reading, the
collected essays explore manifold affective transmissions and resonances
enacted by modernist literary works, contemporary visual arts, horror and
documentary films, museum displays, and animated pornography, with a special
focus on how they impact on political events, media strategies, and social
situations.
