Description
Ugly Feelings by Sianne Ngai explores the cultural forms associated with non-cathartic states of feeling, such as envy, irritation, and paranoia. Ngai examines the aesthetics of these affects and their role in diagnosing the character of late modernity. Through readings of various literary and cultural texts, she investigates how art turns to ugly feelings as a site for interrogating its own suspended agency in a market society.
