| Summary |
This collection reconsiders Modernism in the light of the humanities' affective turn". This book addresses an under-researched area of modernist studies, reconsidering modernist attitudes towards feeling in the light of the humanities' turn to affect. The eleven original chapters and chapter-length introduction consider the affective dimensions of a range of forms and media - including literature, architecture, philosophy, dance, visual art, and design - tracing modernism from its origins in the nineteenth-century to its afterlives in the postwar period. Modernism and Affect engages with contemporary theories of affect but also turns to a surprisingly wide range of theoretical models - including psychoanalysis, phenomenology, critical theory and poststructuralism - as it emphasises the complexities of modernist affect and emotion. Key Features. Presents 11 original essays by international scholars exploring the relationships between modernism and affect Offers a multi- and interdisciplinary approach to modernist studies Challenges the assumption that modernism is marked by a lack of interest in the emotions Outlines influential theories of affect for scholars and students of modernist studies |
