Description
The Forms of the Affects by Eugenie Brinkema explores the relationship between cinematic form and specific affects such as anxiety, grief, and disgust. By examining the details of construction in film and text, Brinkema develops a novel approach to criticism that locates forms of affect within specific aesthetic elements. This book offers a provocative rethinking of the study of sensation, drawing on concepts from philosophy, psychoanalysis, and cultural theory. Through close readings of various texts, Brinkema delves into diverse topics such as putrescence in French gastronomy and the role of the tear in philosophies of emotion. By harnessing the vitality of affective theory, Brinkema invites readers to reconsider the possibilities of cinematic form and explore new ways of understanding sensation.
