Abstract:
Taking as its point of departure Raymond Williams’ notion ‘structure of feeling’, this volume investigates how affectivity makes a difference in memory studies, performance studies, and the range of cultural studies across the humanities and social sciences today. It illustrates the importance of theorizing affectivity at a moment when social and cultural life are becoming increasingly affect-driven.
