Against against affect (again) : æffect in Kenneth Goldsmith's Seven American deaths and disastersBoruszak, Jeffrey Kyle 08 October 2014 (has links)
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. / text

The Sociocultural Perception of the African American Woman's Bodily Aesthetics: Investigated in the Works Venus, God Don't Like Ugly, and Their Eyes Were Watching GodLoiten, Andrene 01 January 2017 (has links)
Despite contemporary movements towards tolerance and appreciation of differing cultural entities within the United States, the normative standard of beauty serves as a pinnacle of division amongst women. The normative standard of beauty—implemented by the dominant race within the States—encourages discrimination in regards to the perception of African American female beauty. Although information exists identifying the original influence pertaining to the negative perception of African American female beauty, the reason for its continued perpetuation within the African American community remains ill defined. Effects of this standard amongst African Americans are psychological and physiological. The destruction of self-image and appreciation for natural features by African American Women occur as a result. The influence of this standard extends to individuals outside of the African American community also and in turn impact their perception of African American aesthetics. Scholarly and Literary writers have chosen to comment on this topic. Some dissect the features that constitute to the considered level of attractiveness attributed of African American women. As these writers explore the realm aesthetic perception, discriminatory tendencies amongst those from the dominant race as well as the marginalized group—in this case African Americans—are revealed. Theories offering explanations in regards to the perpetuation of negative perceptions of African American female beauty arise.

Stuck in the Impasse: Cynicism as Neoliberal AffectVeldstra, Carolyn W. 04 1900 (has links)
<p>Recent work in affect theory has addressed the category of what Sianne Ngai terms “ugly” feelings (Ngai 2007, Edelman 2004, Halberstam 2011) and the costs associated with the premium placed on so-called positive modes of thinking and feeling (Berlant 2011, Ahmed 2010, Love 2007), yet cynicism persists in many accounts as the feature of an undesirable political subjectivity. Likewise in popular and political discourse, cynicism is denounced as the mark of an ineffectual subject who chooses to opt out, rather than reach for supposedly obvious markers of (capitalist) achievement. This dissertation refuses these characterizations, instead considering cynicism as an affect bound up in neoliberal sociopolitical shifts. I argue that cynicism describes a feeling of living under structural conditions that curtail—in ways that are often effaced—the kinds of self-determining subjectivities that have been taken for granted as a feature of Western, liberal democracies and remain foundational to imagined modes of dissent. Exploring this situation in the context of three cultural frames—politics and governance, modes of labour in capitalist economies, and a structure of feeling premised on the pursuit of happiness—I examine cynical subjectivities in fiction, film, and American political discourse so as to 1) develop an inquiry into affect as situated between subject and structure; 2) acknowledge the commonality of a feeling of impasse and dominant cultural narratives that mask this frustration of agency; and 3) consider inertia and passivity as sensible orientations in a cultural moment in which the costs of momentum are becoming increasingly visible.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Afaga-me as tripas a feiura da porcaria desses romances : experiência estética e poiética escatológica em Haunted, de Chuck Palahniuk e Acenos e Afagos, de João Gilberto Noll, dois romances contemporâneos / Me acaricia las tripas la fealdad de la porquería de estas novelas : experiencia estética y poiética escatológica en Haunted, de Chuck Palahniuk, e Acenos e Afagos, de João Gilberto Noll, dos novelas contemporáneas / Strokes my guts the ugliness of filth these novels : a esthetic experience and eschatological poietic in Haunted, Chuck Palahniuk, and Acenos e Afagos, João Gilberto Noll, two contemporary novelsAldana Nieto, Wilson Julián January 2014 (has links)
Esta é uma tese que salienta a qualidade literária desses dois romances sob a proposta de uma leitura baseada em categorias, desenvolvidas por vários teóricos, como o grotesco, o nojo, a abjeção, o estranho e o sublime. Para atingir este objetivo, levo em conta a crise da beleza e reviso tal conceito segundo a perspectiva de filósofos da Antiga Grécia, a Idade Média, o Iluminismo e século XX. Trata-se de uma proposta de estudo poiético que, a partir do nojento, torna visível a importância do sentido fisionômico na percepção corporal que facilita aos espectadores a experimentação de emoções diante de obras de arte: o “simples” prazer corporal que pode se tornar prazer reflexivo, estético. Com este processo da experiência estética (aisthesis, poiesis, katharsis) através da poiética escatológica, redimensiono o feio nestes romances de Palahniuk e de Noll, na obra de arte, apresentando-o como uma categoria estética que vai além de ser simplesmente o oposto do belo, e se erige como o pináculo de outro cânone. / It is a thesis that highlights the literary quality of the two novels mentioned above. This is to be done through a proposal of reading, based on categories worked by some theoreticians, such as the grotesque, disgust, abjection, the uncanny and the sublime. To achieve this goal, I focus on the crisis of beauty, studying this concept from the perspective of Ancient Greek philosophers, the Middle Ages, the Enlightenment and 20th Century. Furthermore, this deals with a proposal of poetics study that, from the “disgust” perspective, emphasizes the importance of physiognomic sense in the bodily perception, which facilitates spectators to experience emotions about the artwork: the "simple" bodily pleasure becomes “reflective” and “aesthetic” pleasure. Within this process of aesthetic experience (aisthesis, poiesis, katharsis), and through the eschatological poietics, I point out (or address) the ugly of these novels of Palahniuk and Noll, as well as the artwork, presenting it as an aesthetic category that ends to be simply the opposite of beauty and emerges as the pinnacle of another canon. / Es una tesis que resalta la calidad literaria de estas dos novelas, a partir de la propuesta de una lectura basada en categorías, trabajadas por varios teóricos, como lo grotesco, el asco, la abyección, lo siniestro y lo sublime. Para lograr este objetivo, tengo en cuenta la crisis de la belleza y reviso este concepto desde la perspectiva de filósofos de la Antigua Grecia, la Edad Media, la Ilustración y el siglo XX. Se trata de una propuesta de estudio poiético que, a partir de lo asqueroso, destaca la importancia del sentido fisionómico en la percepción corporal que facilita a los espectadores la experimentación de emociones frente a la obra de arte: el “simple” placer corporal que se convierte en placer reflexivo, estético. Con este proceso de experiencia estética (aisthesis, poiesis, katharsis), a través de la poiética escatológica, redimensiono lo feo en estas novelas de Palahniuk y de Noll, en la obra de arte, presentándolo como una categoría estética que deja de ser simplemente lo opuesto a lo bello y se erige como el pináculo de otro canon.

Dr. Eleine MadJacobsson, Madeleine January 2021 (has links)
Dr. Eleine Mad är Madeleine Jacobsssons talesperson för dom vetenskapliga och paranormala upptäckter som uppstår i hennes världar. Hon beskriver innehåll, teknik och estetik utifrån ett kategoriseringssytem där konsten delas upp som olika typer av komponenter och därefter avkodas dessa allteftersom. För att förstå intuitionens inblandning i arbetsprocessen omförvandlas den till tre separata roller av en Sökare, Samlare och Myntare. Med rollerna försöker jag beskriva på vilka sätt som intuitionen är till gagn eller av förödelse för det konstnärliga arbetet. Sagan om M handlar om en grodlik karaktär, Delop, som lämnar sin hemplanet för att uppsöka andra världar. I sitt sökande hittar Delop ett folkslag vars syn och levnadssätt skiljer sig från hennes erfarenheter av “verkligheten” såsom hon lärt sig att överleva i den. / Dr. Eleine Mad is Madeleine Jacobsson's spokesperson for the scientific and paranormal discoveries that arise in her worlds. She describes content, tecniques and aesthetics based on a categorization system where art is divided into different types of components and then decoded as they go. To understand the intuition's involvement in the work process, it is transformed into three separate roles by a Seeker, Collector and a Myntare(In swedish language the one who is a "myntare" -is verbally declaring a concept or term). With these roles I try to describe in what ways intuition is beneficial or devastating to the artistic work. The story of M is about a frog-like character, Delop, who leaves the home planet to seek out other worlds. In her search, Delop finds a world whose views and lifestyles differ from her experiences of "reality" as she learned to survive in it. / <p>Recorded sound and image material of the presentation is available for private use.</p>
