Affect

Abstract

The “affective turn” has greatly influenced work in cultural studies, the humanities, and the social sciences. Queer theorists in particular have embraced conceptions of affect to put pressure on Humanist legacies of subjectivity, telos-driven narratives of temporality, and Cartesian devaluations of the body’s experiences and intelligences. Affect has opened up a means of exploring sociality through moods, atmospheres, “public feelings,” emotions, and “prepersonal intensities” and has provided a critical vocabulary for theorizing how these forces traverse and animate both human and nonhuman bodies. This chapter thinks through affect’s queer possibilities for education paying particular attention to its attachments , transmissions , and pedagogies .
