Monograph Thinking about Affect in Culture and Art. 452ºF Journal of Literary Theory and Comparative Literature, 14

Although the notion of affect—which can often encompass a variety of concepts such as passions, moods, sensations, feelings and emotions—has been a recurrent theme throughout the history of philosophy, recently we have witnessed an increased proliferation of academic publications. The #14 issue of 452ºF draws on the renewed interest in the role of affect in cultural theory by affect studies, particularly as it has been developed in the Anglo-Saxon world in the last two decades. The articles in this issue respond to different questions from diverse theoretical perspectives and geographical and linguistic contexts, addressing a variety of cultural productions as well as staging contemporary debates on the role of affective experience.
