Abstract:

This essay explores scenes of zany comedy in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, across three sites: a television sketch about repeated electrical shock; the careers of freelance electricians known as vishoka; and encounters between residents and power utility inspectors. Drawing on the work of Sianne Ngai, as well as long-term ethnographic research, the essay argues that zaniness manifests the structural paradoxes of entrepreneurial populations that have alternately been described as the lumpen, the informal, or simply the urban poor. Specifically, it argues that such populations are often consigned to permanent improvisation and that this engenders a social freedom that, in some respects, remains indistinguishable from constraint. The zany can thus critically nuance portraits of livelihood and citizenship practices in urban Africa by bringing their freedoms and constraints into the same frame.

Abstract:

Tomando como prisma teórico los planteamientos de Sianne Ngai en Ugly Feelings (2005) y de Sara Ahmed en The Promise of Happiness (2010), el presente trabajo explora las novelas Así en la tierra de Ramiro Lacayo Deshón (Nicaragua, 2009) y El asesino melancólico de Jacinta Escudos (El Salvador, 2015), así como una selección de cuentos de Claudia Hernández (Mediodía de frontera, El Salvador, 2007), para interpretar el significado crítico de la negatividad e infelicidad. Arguyo que en los textos de estos autores la frustración, la apatía, la inseguridad y la vergüenza, así como los efectos que estas emociones disfóricas producen en el lector, articulan una crítica de la lógica neoliberal que gobierna las sociedades contemporáneas, desvalorando las vidas y experiencias que no (cor)responden a la promesa de la felicidad.

Abstract:

Recent scholarship on conceptual writing has turned to the role of affect in poetry. Critics such as Calvin Bedient claim that by using appropriated text and appealing to intellectual encounters with poetry based around a central “concept,” conceptual writing diminishes or even ignores affect. Bedient in particular is concerned with affect's relationship with political efficacy, a relationship I call “æffect.” I make the case that because of its use of appropriated material, we must examine the transformation from source text to poetic work when discussing affect in conceptual writing. Kenneth Goldsmith's Seven American Deaths and Disasters, which consists of transcriptions of audio recordings made during and immediately following major American tragedies, involves a specific kind of affective transformation: the cliché. I discuss what makes a cliché, especially in relation to affect, before turning to Sianne Ngai's Ugly Feelings and her concept of “stuplimity.” Stuplimity is an often ignored and not easily articulated affect that arises from boredom and repetition. Stuplimity is critical for Seven American Deaths and Disasters, especially for the “open feeling” that it produces in its wake. This uncanny feeling indicates a changing tide in conversations about conceptual writing. Rather than focus on the affect of æffect, we should instead turn to the effect.

Abstract:

The introduction lays out this book’s methodology and main thesis. Spaces of Feeling takes modernist poems and novels as illustrations of an attitude toward affective awareness that has become lost from contemporary conversations about affect. By engaging with critics such as Lauren Berlant, Charles Altieri, Sianne Ngai, and Brian Massumi, as well as moral philosophers such as Martha Nussbaum, it also highlights reasons why this attitude should, once more, become important to us.

Abstract:

This chapter elaborates a novel theoretical framework that draws from the antisocial thesis in queer theory, particularly as formulated by Leo Bersani, as well as recent theoretical work on affect and emotion by Sianne Ngai and Sara Ahmed. Weaving these theoretical strands together, the chapter proposes that anxiety is not simply an individual psychological disposition, but can also be ascribed to modes of thought. The chapter then argues that anxiety, as a discursive affect, functions as a “straightening device,” policing antisocial subjects (or non-subjects) and calling them back to valued forms of sociality. This argument provides a foundation for interpreting the anxieties about playbor, automation, and the sharing economy discussed in the chapters that follow.

Abstract:

This chapter makes the case for conceptualizing noir (in various media) in relationship to negative affect. The chapter first charts different accounts of noir, indicating the difficulty that critics have had in defining it. We suggest that the reason for this difficulty is precisely because noir is about negativity and thus eludes any positive attempts at fixing its definition once and for all. While we do produce our own definition of thinking about noir in terms of negative affect, we do not consider it taxonomic or something that clearly defines noir as a genre (indeed, it often fuses with other genres). The chapter also charts a genealogy of negative affect from Freud to Sianne Ngai. It concludes with chapter summaries.
