▼ This project reframes contemporary engagements with past injury by attending to the way novelists since the 1990s have responded to the widening temporal divides that separate us from various landmark atrocities of the twentieth century. Though “historical trauma” has been foundational and useful in articulating how injuries like the Holocaust and the legacy of apartheid shape individual and collective identifications, I contend that trauma theory’s commitment to identity claims has made it an increasingly inadequate framework for understanding the complicated way that these past crimes continue to resonate in the present. Presenting “historical injury” as a productive reframing of the concept of historical trauma, my readings of Phillip Roth, J.M. Coetzee and W.G. Sebald illustrate the way in which historical injury shapes the affective contours of everyday experience. Championing a new materialist approach to historical injury, one that replaces narratives of trauma with intensities of
affect, I suggest that historical injury must be understood not as belonging to identity but as mediated by the self-transformative capacities of embodiment.
Beginning with a reflection on contemporary Holocaust memory, this project examines the ways in which an affective relation to injury may challenge established cultural narratives of identity in both Jewish-American and German contexts. In my final chapter, I explore how affective frameworks for thinking about the historical injury of the Holocaust may be put to productive use in articulating past injury in the context of post-apartheid South Africa. Though the authors under consideration approach the problem of historical injury from vastly different perspectives, they all share, I argue, a critique of reading practices that attempt to understand the past through acts of sympathetic identification with trauma’s victims. The trauma model, I argue, in focusing individual psychological effects has limited our ability to articulate the complex ways in which historical injuries manifest themselves within a political present increasingly distant from the traumatizing event. By paying attention to the embodiment of lived experience, I suggest, these authors imagine how instances of collective memory can be transmitted outside of established identity claims and against normative structures of temporality and geography.

▼ In this thesis, I argue that the A21 Campaign’s discourse mobilizes Christian
affect to produce relational proximity between audience members and human trafficking victims. My study intervenes in related literature surrounding Burke’s (1969) idea of identification by acknowledging that discourse can invite audiences to feel relationally close to or empathetic with others in the absence of consubstantiation. Relying on Gould’s (2009) notion of the mobilization of
affect, I contend that unconscious, Christian affective investments are mobilized within A21’s rhetoric through the covert deployment of evangelical tropes that register with Christians’ affective desires and encourage believers to act as Christ or “saviors.” Specifically, this analysis unveils three ways in which Christian
affect is covertly mobilized. First, the campaign uses coded Christian language and tropes to appeal to believers’ religious values, constituting an evangelical public willing to affectively invest in the non-profit. Secondly, victims’ experiences are personalized to prime audiences to empathize with sex slaves, viewing themselves as relationally proximal to the trafficked “other.” Lastly, audiences are positioned as “saviors” who are encouraged to fulfill their role as Christ followers by taking action to support the A21 Campaign. Together, these strategies function to invite Christians to embrace the taboo topic of sex slavery within the sacred setting of the church, beckoning believers to further the social movement based on their religious convictions.

▼ This thesis analyses the queer anti-pastoral as a cinematic sub-genre that disrupts pastoral conventions of nature as a site for harmonious patterns and generative transformations at the service of the human. Bringing more attention to grief and ecocritical negativity in this thesis, I track how the affective-aesthetic arrangements of loss, misrecognition, and substitution provide an alternative queer environmental politics not based on nostalgic memorialization or sensual discovery, but on painful disconnections that emphasize the failures of accessing an interpersonal or ecological interdependency. Rather than read such encounters as mired in negativity for no vital gains, however, I propose that the queer anti-pastoral offers useful avenues to rethink the terms of the social and the environmental by traversing their very negations and subsequent transformations. Pairing together Eugenie Brinkemaâs affective formalism with Leo Bersaniâs aesthetic theories, I ultimately argue that the queer anti-pastoral provides an ecological ethics of detachment that is strategically tempered by grief so as not to romanticize the forces of negation. In so doing, the queer anti-pastoral expresses an environmental consciousness pertaining to aggressive human actions, and it brings to light the disastrous consequences of hierarchical relations between the human, nonhuman, and environment.

▼ Electronic media allows for the repetition of the audiovisual in new contexts. Bernard Stiegler argues that, as people are exposed to these contexts (television, commercials), consumer-based art threatens the
singular, a connection to a particular aesthetic in a particular space. When art is repeated, films remember
for the audience. This allows for history to be continually re-written according to dominant media institutions.
While there are other ways to combat this grand narrative, I argue that there are memories that, like the singular, are not consumer-based. I refer to these as
staple associative memories (SAMs). These are not memories of the audiovisual art but are associated with the social component attached to the viewing experience. Through the repetition of a temporal aesthetic, the narratives are expected, but the other elements or associations can create unexpected affectual memories. SAMs are valuable for increasing participation and for the creation of selfhood, but they are being threatened by the use of the sequel. I analyze
Blade Runner 2049 as a representation of a sequel that reuses old scenes in new contexts. Because of the affectual elements of these scenes, the memory of the original viewing experience can be warped, changed, or forgotten. I finish by discussing the future of staple associative memories in the context of online streaming and augmented reality.

▼ Digital media platforms have become important spaces for Muslims to discuss and debate Islam and Islamic values in the contemporary world. In this study, I analyze the affective nature of digital Islamic discourse, focusing primarily on how the internet allows for the formation of transnational Muslim collectives based upon shared sensory experience. In doing so, I coin a new term that I use to refer to such digital spaces – the affective Islamic public. I discuss three case
studies that I use to define the affective Islamic public: a social media controversy surrounding an American Muslim journalist, an online argument between a preacher in Tajikistan and a member of ISIS, and a Snapchat Live Story depicting the events of a Muslim religious holiday. To conclude, I suggest some best practices that other researchers interested in
affect and digital religious discourse can use to conduct further
studies in this field.

▼ This dissertation explores the connections between Chinese body cultures and transnational screen cultures by tracing the Chinese body through representation in contemporary cinema and media in the post-Mao era. Images of Chinese bodies participate in the audio-visual manufacture of desire and pleasure, and ideas of “Chinese-ness” endure through repetitive, mediated performance. This dissertation examines how representations of sex, health, and beauty are mediated by social, cultural, and political belief systems, and how cine/televisual depictions of the body also, in turn, mediate gender, cultural, racial and ethnic identifications within and across national boundaries. The bodily practices and behaviors in the quotidian arenas of sex, health, and beauty reflect the internalization of culture and the politics of identity construction. This dissertation is interested in how the pleasures of cinema relate to the politics of the body and how the pleasures of the body relate to the politics of cinema. "Trans/national Chinese Bodies Performing Sex, Health, and Beauty in Cinema and Media" focuses in particular on images of the Chinese female body that participate in worldly constructions of “Chinese-ness.” Each chapter is a situational exploration of a facet of Chinese embodiment in contemporary cinema and media: the erotics and affects of cinematic war bodies, the hygienic body in compassionate melodrama, the touching politics of China’s first HIV/AIDS film, the politics of beauty in regards to post-Mao Chinese female film stars, and the exotic/erotic-ization of Chinese American actresses. By framing the performer as the central author in film and television, this project suggests an alternate hermeneutics to understanding the accented Chinese body as cine/televisual phenomenon. Anchored by discussions of affective, sensorial, and phenomenological spectatorship, this project explores the Chinese body as a fictive text that powerfully elicits feelings of cultural belonging. This study mobilizes the concept of carnal spectatorship in an attempt to answer the question: How do Chinese audiences make sense and senses of their own histories and identities through their imaginative, bodily contact with onscreen Chinese bodies? As this dissertation illustrates, China and Chinese-ness are themselves performances inextricable from bodily systems of desire, pleasure, and well-being. As a construction of film and media, the Chinese body enables access to a diversity of erotics and pleasures that elucidate Chinese-ness as an affective condition of being-in-the-world.

▼ In our globalized moment, cultural production emerging from China and other non-Western locations has become of central concern for critical theory, art history, and cultural studies. In order to counteract previous decontextualized and over-universalizing discussions of contemporary Chinese art, most art history, theatre, and performance studies scholars have emphasized how art and culture emerged within specific historical and political contexts. However, by repeatedly relying on contextualization, the Chinese are reproduced as lacking imagination, contradictions, and complexity. By examining the historical emergence of this discourse, I demonstrate the limits of past approaches in order to explore other methodological possibilities. In contrast to other scholars who have situated contemporary Chinese performance and art within over-determined modes of contextualization, this dissertation locates alternative methodological possibilities in affect and feelings. This project argues that historical contextualization reproduces presumptions around the Chinese state as authoritarian and its subjects as conscious actors. Thus, I develop a method called minor China that privileges the realms of affect, fantasy, and the immaterial over such presumptions. The minor, akin to the musical structure that feels melancholic and less prevalent than the major, focuses on such contours to direct attention to the assumptions that frame how we write about Chinese culture and the state. I develop the minor from the recent theoretical turns towards minor feelings and affects, from scholars such as Lauren Berlant, Sianne Ngai, Steven Shaviro, and Eve Sedgwick. As I engage these analytics for their methodological capabilities, I situate minor contours to understand what they offer for cultural and political economic analyses of China.

▼ Situated in different but related “post-revolutionary” contexts, After the Revolution: Memory, Absence, and Carrying on in Black Literature and Film of the Americas begins by positing communal and intersubjective labor as central to the interrogation of resistant and revolutionary subjectivity. The dissertation engages with recent scholarship on affect and ontology in Feminist studies, Black studies, and critical theory in order to reframe intersectional approaches to race and gender within the fields of literary and media studies. Focusing on Black literature and film of the United States, the Caribbean, and Latin America, the dissertation asserts the intellectual and political stakes emerging from theorizations of everyday life and the affective dimensions of race and gender in cultural productions. Its concentration on the “after” of revolution departs from event-based narratives of social and political transformation and moments of revolt, and highlights instead artistic expressions of daily living. These moments are are no longer about explosive transformation, heroes, and grand historical gestures, but rather the quiet spaces in between, and the enervating work of carrying on. More so than within revolutionary activity itself, I argue, these are the moments where the sedimentation of subject formation within newly defined political and social parameters begins. The dissertation brings together interdisciplinary cultural studies methods derived from theories of coloniality, such as put forth by Sylvia Wynter, Black feminist theories of resistance, empowerment, and affective politics as developed by Audre Lorde and June Jordan; contemporary Black feminist theorizing of subjectivity, identity, and epistemology, drawing from Denise Ferreira da Silva and Saidiya Hartman; and contemporary Black scholarship concerned with discursively produced constructions of Blackness, such as that by Frank Wilderson, Jared Sexton, and Fred Moten. In doing so, I draw attention to affective circuits within different geopolitical and historical contexts that are formed in relation to race, gender, and sexual hierarchies of power.

▼ The aftermath of the Vietnam War/American War
(post-1975) not only resulted in the largest moment of Vietnamese
bodily dispersal around the world, but also figured a crisis in the
affective management of the newly minted unified Vietnamese nation,
simultaneously forcing exiled refugees to configure new relations
to nation and state, notions of the future, and their own selves as
bodies in a new world. My dissertation explores how the cultural
production of this era – from artists in the postwar Vietnamese
nation and diaspora – uses the grammar of
affect to indict,
excoriate, impugn, lament, remember and reconcile the effects of
war.; Because of the profoundly specular nature of the Vietnam War,
images of loss, grief, and terror continue to circumscribe
representations of Vietnam and its postwar subjects in Western
cultural representation. Postwar subjects, construed as the
“Other,” then, are burdened with the responsibility to provide
closure to the unmitigated traumas of the Vietnam War. I argue that
the cultural production of Vietnam’s dispersed postwar subjects
continues to be looked to, by a global viewing and reading
audience, for signs of ‘reconciliation’ and ‘forgiveness’ so that
the history of Vietnamese turmoil can be made coherent and
therefore more amenable to market-friendly narratives.; In my
dissertation I examine how the Vietnamese and Vietnamese diasporic
cultural producers under consideration turn to an economy of
affects to torque the narrative on forgiveness and healing as
particularly vexing and difficult postwar ethical imperatives. The
texts I examine include diasporic renderings of Vietnam’s epic
poem, The Tale of Kieu, by the diasporic variety show Paris by
Night and by the scholar and filmmaker Trinh T. Minh Ha, the
contemporary literature of Vietnamese Australian writer Nam Le and
Vietnamese American writer le thi diem thuy whose stories detail
the difficult reckoning of children to their fathers’ failures, two
films by two prominent postwar directors – Tran Anh Hung and Dang
Nhat Minh – in which vision and nostalgia act as concomitant and
paradoxical processes at work in remembering and honoring Vietnam,
and finally the popular-fiction of the Vietnamese-language writer
Nguyen Ngoc Ngan, a popular personality of the Vietnamese diaspora.
Through an analysis of select works in his corpus, I examine how
Nguyen Ngoc Ngan identifies sadness and sorrow as burdens of
Vietnamese postwar masculinity. His depictions call upon the
sympathies and empathies of available “affective communities” in
the diaspora but they do so in complex ways that acknowledge other
feelings and emotions that emerge for his readers as they consider
Vietnamese postwar men and manhood.; My dissertation follows the
traces of
affect in postwar transnational and diasporic Vietnamese
cultural representation and shows that an attention to affects does
more than give a glimpse into internal subjectivity; such an
attention can offer Critical
Studies complex and varied language to
assess how deeply it is that cultural texts are…

▼ This project explores the cultural politics of Asian American representation on mainstream television through the examination of two characters Chinese American actress Lucy Liu has played – Ling Woo from Ally McBeal and Joan Watson from Elementary. By employing a reading practice that refuses the conventional language of representation, I instead unpack the work that culture performs affectively, ideologically, and politically. I contend that Ling and Joan both resonate as Asian American racial formations in that they are economically hyperproductive but emotionally damaged and consequently inhuman. In engaging with interdisciplinary scholarship on Asian American cultural studies, critiques of neoliberalism, and theories of affect, I am able to delineate the importance of cultural productions as a site for articulating processes of gendered racialization, exposing neoliberal violence(s) and forming new desires, epistemes, and subjectivities.

▼ This dissertation explores how transmedial performances of racialized sexualities disrupt disciplinary regimes of visuality, inviting a deeper consideration of embodiment. Blending methods of performance ethnography with practices of close reading, I track the multi-sensorial engagements and entanglements of in/human subjects and objects in spaces organized by or around cinema, musical performance, public health, museum exhibitions, and adult film to understand how these sites represent race and sexuality and express it as well. I argue that sex/objects co-perform alongside “properly human” bodies and co-create an intersensory and relational Asian/American sexual ecology. My research mobilizes ecology as a theoretical and methodological framework to capture the dynamic interrelationship between subjects and objects, places and bodies, and energies and rhythms emerging from and circulating through technologically mediated performances of racialized sexualities. Taking up the question of racialized sexualities ecologically, I argue, detaches sex from the over determining disciplinary boundaries of “the human,” and opens up multidimensional, multisensory, and multiscalar approaches to whom and what is accounted for in the assemblage of “Asian/American sexualities.”Chapter two, “Pharmacologizing Wellness: HIV, PrEP, and the Non-Profit Industrial Complex,” examines how public health organizations appropriate the aesthetic practices of pornography organizations vis-à-vis public service announcements produced by the Asian and Pacific Islander Wellness Center (APIWC) in San Francisco. The third chapter, “Bound, Drowned, and Drilled: Staging Sexual Sensation at kink.com” explores the role of staging sensorium across two different transmedial sites of BDSM performance of pornography production: the live studio tours offered by kink.com of the historically preserved Armory building housing the sets and the 2013 documentary about the company, Kink Focusing on the stages of performance, as a choreographed transmedia practice. Chapter four, “Gay Geek Socialities and 8-Bit Aesthetics: H.P. Mendoza Queers the Asian Art Museum” traverses the museum space as a form of queer nightlife producing, exhibiting, and experiencing racialized sexualities. The epilogue, “Prosthetic Intimacies: Sexing Queer via Rico Reyes’ AC/DC,” takes a scene of erotic encounter between a man and household appliances, allowing us to think otherwise about the onto-epistemological boundaries of what is “sex.”

▼ Contemporary public discourses in the United States about the “war on terror” are pervaded by cultural discourses of human-animal intimacy set in contexts of nationalism, humanitarianism and militarism: specifically discourses of American “puppy love” and Middle Eastern “hatred of dogs.” These two intimately interconnected discourses work to shift boundaries between human and animal: one set of discourses dehumanizes everyone positioned as potential “terrorists”—including people in Iraq and Afghanistan figured as “enemy others”; the other set of discourses humanizes military working dogs and dogs adopted from Iraq and Afghanistan. Considering these discourses together highlights how the boundary between human and animal is unstable and intimately connected to gendered and sexualized processes of racialization deployed for political purposes. The shifting value ascribed to some dogs’ lives in the “war on terror” emerges at the nexus of the racialized, gendered and sexualized discourses of human exceptionalism and orientalism, working to iteratively reproduce unstable boundaries.

▼ Taking up prior formulations of crip
affect, I explore the positionality of the downer as one whose body complicates global economies of social and political encounter. Engaging with neoliberal formulations of embodiment and the co-constitutive forces of heteronormativity and compulsory able-bodiedness (McRuer, 2006), I look at the ways in which many theoretical and political disability justice projects position disability as complementary to consumer capitalism, producing normative frameworks into which certain abnormal embodiments can be incorporated. I propose that the downer, as a relational body that proliferates social dis-ease and economic dysfunction, mobilizes crip
affect ironically and creatively. Through processes of becoming (Deleuze and Guattari 1987; Kim 2015; Puar 2015), downers resist assimilation into biomedical frameworks, and in doing so, propose generative forms of social, economic, political, and corporeal unintelligibility. This article is, itself, an exercise in becoming downer. It renders habitable an ostensibly uninhabitable positionality.

Protest Beyond Representation: The Vitalism of Digital Protest Art's Political Aesthetics.

▼ The complexities of post-modernity tend to dissolve any facile model of direct cause-and-effect in politics, and yet as a democratic polity, we look for the comfort in knowing that political expression can enact change. Protest art, or acts of creative expression intended to resist dominant powers, forces, and structures, models the potential for political expression to create change that is not immediate, direct, or obvious, but rather "moves the social" through expressivity and aesthetics. While these features lend themselves to an analysis guided by
affect theory, this sub-discipline within communication
studies has tended to lack the methodological specificity to reproduce or expand applications. Daniel Stern's vitality pentad acts as a heuristic by which to study rhetorical objects; these objects are studied due to their expressivity, rather than their appeal to reason. Stern excludes "still" media forms such as photographs and illustrations; however, by looking at the way in which digital artifacts are imbued with movement in its networked path, we can understand that all digital media are time-based. The objects of study speak to the temporal, vital dimensions of digital protest art: Turkey's Vandalina art collective, which places protest stickers on transit cars, demonstrates how force and scale engender feeling of intimacy in public spaces. Iran's Zahra's Paradise, a webcomic-turned-graphic novel, offers differing temporal environments for the reader and weaves its aesthetics into the narrative to create a sense of space and place. Finally, the images ofHandsUpDontShoot, through their directional pull across digital networks, illustrates social media's tendency to remix aesthetic features of older media forms. Major insights drawn from this research speak to the political importance of
subject formation – or interventions therein – and vitality forms as a method for rhetorical criticism, which allows the rhetorical critic to be more specific and methodical in applying
affect theory to rhetoric. It also challenges the positivist notion that political expression must result in measurable change in order to be validated. Finally, this project addresses the virtual potentiality of digital data and offers a perspective that sees all digital media as time-based.

▼ In recent years, electronic dance music (EDM) and dance music culture have gained immense popularity. This thesis looks at EDM?s contemporary cultural landscape and what changes this popularity has brought about. While these divergences distinguish mainstream EDM from both current and historical examples, they also highlight fundamental practices and cultural features. From field observations gathered at a variety of venues, (both mainstream and underground) it is clear that, while they all share this basic set of practices, the performances that emerge are vastly different.
In part, this thesis revisits traditional conceptions of electronic dance music, and particularly the suggestion that audience members mindlessly submit themselves as a collective whole to the music. Instead, I suggest that the audience is actively engaged in the production of experience by participating together in an enacted performance. Understanding EDM at the level of individual experience does not undermine the significance of collective experience; rather, I suggest collectivity occurs through stranger intimacies between co-performers.
By using this phenomenological perspective, differences between spaces can be seen as variations on a shared set of practices and queer history. The final element I consider is mainstream EDM festival culture, how it deviates from other spaces, and how it fits within the broader cultural landscape. While distinctions are clearly evident, I argue that it still operates through the same basic performance framework. I illustrate that EDM festivals operate through neoliberal economic structures, and it appeals to the audience by evoking neoliberal ideologies.

▼ This dissertation on Brazilian cinema dialogues with theories about the role of corporeality and sensation in film experience, but relocates the discussion from cinema's moment of reception to the moment of production. This relocation reflects not just the need to reevaluate the place of the body in film theory-in the wake of works by Stephen Shaviro, Linda Williams, Vivian Sobchack, and others, which emphasize viewership-but also addresses a tendency specific to Brazilian cinema. Starting roughly in 1974, with Bodansky and Senna's Iracema: uma transa amazônica, and becoming more pronounced since the 1990s, this tendency is characterized by a shift in emphasis from the finished product, intended to
affect the viewer in a belated scene of viewing, to the physicality of encounters and interactions between bodies and audiovisual technologies that unfold in the here-and-now of filming. The films resulting from this change in emphasis are still works of cinema in the sense that they are completed works, released in theaters and circulated as DVDs or digital files. Yet this dissertation argues that these films' thrust lies less in their attributes as finished pieces than in the experiential events enabled by their making. Through key examples by directors like Bodansky and Senna, Andrea Tonacci, João Moreira Salles, Cao Guimarães, and especially Eduardo Coutinho, this study details this turn from film as product to film as process and draws out its aesthetic and political implications. In order to better delineate the practices that emerge from this shift, as well as to distinguish them from the "representational" approaches that prevail in most cinemas, this dissertation proposes the notion of "the cinema of experience"-a category whose critical value exceeds the present work.

▼ This thesis concerns the marketing, appropriation and consumption of affect in contemporary Cuban tourism. Since its rapid development to generate hard currency during the economic crisis of the 1990s, tourism has become the centre of the Cuban economy. More recently, following the radical reforms brought in under Raúl Castro, changes in private enterprise ventures have expanded touristic contact spaces beyond the previous controls of the formal sector. A range of services has emerged, responding to tourists’ demands to have an intimate, authentic experience of Cuba. Using the lens of affective capital, this study combines a consideration of this complex, rapidly-changing context with two further facets of the phenomenon: an analysis of the affective dimensions of Cuba’s representation in touristic texts, such as marketing, guidebooks, travel literature and online forums, and a discussion of the affective negotiations between host and guest on the ground. The strategic appropriation of affective capital identified in this thesis offers an original perspective on revolutionary Cuba’s tourism development. The resurgence of sex tourism since the resurrection of the tourism industry has been the dominant focus of previous scholarship, ignoring the wider ‘market of feelings’ that operates through tourism. In particular, approaches have been quick to emphasise the incongruity of prostitution in the context of revolutionary socialism, offering one-dimensional analyses of the state and the Cuban population. In addition, approaches from Tourism Studies have tended to be tourist-centric. This thesis draws together these actors with a dialogic approach in order to reveal some key complexities. The mixed methods approach combines textual analysis with some participative methods, carried out during a fieldwork trip in 2012, to address the connections between the lived realities of affective capital in Cuban tourism, the discourses that constitute it, and the social context. The findings reveal that Cuba is cast as a site of affective wealth through certain discourses and practices of tourism. Firstly, in describing the ways that Cuba is articulated through affective codes in touristic texts, this research reconfigures approaches to tourism’s world-making function through the framework of symbolic capital; it challenges the idea that revolutionary tourism policy is one-dimensional. Secondly, in looking at the lived realities of these discourses, the thesis critically addresses the kinds of negotiations relating to emotional work, bad feelings, and currency by both parties of the tourist encounter; this perspective extends important scholarship on tourism and affect in new directions based on the specificity of the Cuban context.

▼ “Thrillology: Affective Intensities and the Everyday-Spectacular in American Literature and Culture” presents thrill as a powerful thematic component centered on immediate affective gratification informing character development and narrative. This perspective rethinks theme as always having an affective dimension that accompanies its conceptual articulations, with the former, in many cases, being the more important element. Thrilled psycho-emotional states emerge, in their own right, as legitimizations of individuality and cultural autonomy from the perspective of the passional subject. Engaging with a broad spectrum of literary and cultural sources spanning the last hundred years, this project investigates various ways in which the self-fulfilling affective intensity of thrill imparts a compelling spectacularization to everyday experience. Case studies featuring Naturalist novels by Norris, Sinclair, and Dreiser expose the pursuit of material success as an intoxicating affect that drives central figures, regardless of the attainment, and inevitable loss, of wealth. In contrast, Ishmael Reed’s MumboJumbo presents a very different frisson of social rebellion that is determined to find fulfillment within its defiance and re-appropriation of cultural identity, no matter the stacked-odds confronting protagonists. And, book-ending nearly a century of fictional engagements with the pervasiveness of fame, fortune, and celebrity in mainstream consciousness, Nathanael West’s Day of the Locust and Bret Easton Ellis’ Glamorama portray the pursuit of thrill as an end itself, regardless of any realization of stardom. Finally, these thrillological considerations extend into contemporary American social texts, here embodied by the recurring spectacle of the Super Bowl broadcast and the extravaganza of Apple.com’s 2010 web-based introduction of the iPad. Through its examination of thrill as a positive affective power and the capacity of such excitation to translate into modes of expression and identification, Thrillology adds new perspectives to the body of contemporary affect theoretical literary analysis that has been prominently concerned with the examination of negative affective dimensions. This project brings a variety of theoretical fields into conversation in order to achieve a versatile conception of thrill’s affect, combining literary and cultural modes of analysis that co-involve affect theory, performance studies, theorization of spectacle and The Everyday, and effects of mass-media and consumerism.

▼ The terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, are narrated as a critical moment in United States history. This dissertation is about that narration—the story of 9/11, and the affective nationalisms that accompany that story, as it is told to, through, and around the figure of the child. With this research, I examine the figure of the child. I consider the child as an icon within 9/11 narratives, an audience for a story of national trauma, and a creator and mobilizer of cultural production and its corollary affective nationalism. I examine what role the figure of the child plays in the production of a national imaginary organized around a shared condition of grief, loss, and terror, or, alternatively, of hope and futurity. I ask what a critical examination of the figure of the child within 9/11 discourses reveals about the gendered, raced, and classed production of American nationalist sentiment.

▼ In a Queer Place in Time: Fictions of Belonging in Italy 1890-2010 maps the "elsewheres" – spatial, temporal and intertextual – that authorize same-sex desire in modern Italy. Tracing a genealogy that spans from nineteenth century travel writing about Italy to contemporary Italian novels, I argue that texts exported from the Northern Europe and the U.S. function as vital site of affiliation and vexing points of discrepancy for Italy's queers. Pier Vittorio Tondelli's Camere separate (1989), for instance, cites the British novelist Christopher Isherwood as proof that - somewhere else - silence did not yoke homosexuality. Rather than defining sexuality as a constant set of desires, I demonstrate it to be a retroactive fiction. It is the fleeting affinity that the reading of inherited texts can evoke. In examining the reception of transnational gay narratives in the national context of Italy, this dissertation argues that the concept of "Western" homosexuality is internally riven. Ultimately, In a Queer Place in Time illuminates how local histories - including affective differences like shame, estrangement and backwardness - continue to haunt gay culture's global fictions.!

▼ This dissertation addresses the ways in which trauma and violent histories may be transmitted from one generation to the next, particularly via the older generation’s use of narrative fragments, caesuras, and/or silences. It widens the sociological understanding of subjecthood and affect—not just via theoretical interventions but through a mixed methods, data driven analysis of 27 interviews and 69 surveys with Cambodian American college students and graduates from California. First, this study explicates how refugee subjecthood (i.e., the quality of being a refugee subject) does not require discursive utterance or identity naming but instead revolves around an affect of trauma—the positive, negative, and neutral feelings, emotions, and sensations that are elicited in the daily lives of refugee subjects. Instead of just theorizing that trauma reaches beyond the individual who has suffered some sort of catastrophic event, this research provides evidence that better informs individual-based medical and psychological research. Second, by making claims about how trauma is a formation, this research shows how trauma is neither stable nor discrete and is always subject to discursive and affective rearticulation. Trauma is therefore inherently social and collective because it references structures and people at the macro- (e.g., laws, policies, and war), meso- (e.g., community and groups), and micro- (e.g., families and individuals) levels. Third, this study speaks to a specificity of the Southeast Asian diaspora/refugee experience, one that is both raced and classed.

▼ VOLUME I In musical composition composers rely on the audience’s inherent understanding of sound and musical affect. As the art form developed, the segregation of popular, folk and “academic” music became more evident, thus leading contemporary concert music (different from pop, rock, electronic and folk music) to be labeled under the larger realm of “classical” music. What general audiences associate with classical music is the work of Beethoven, Mozart, Tchaikovsky, other composers of the past and present, orchestral or instrumental music written by “classically” trained composers. This separation often makes the general audience think of classical music as museum pieces, which are not (in most cases) a part of everyday life or popular culture. However, classical music is experienced regularly through film. The musical language encountered in film is mostly informed by so called “classical” music, ranging from Gregorian chant, highly complex dissonant music, to electronic or pop music.The marriage of music and film allowed for an exploration of musical range in terms of genre, sound world, musical material and emotionality to create affective responses inherent in the audience. This exploration resulted in the use of well-known musical signifiers called tropes to elicit said affective response. Some of these tropes pre-dated film music, others grew from conventions imposed by early composers of the genre, and some were created by iconic films or other musical genres. Utilizing tropes, film composers accompany, convey and shape the narrative of the film. Focusing on film music, in this dissertation, musical affect and narrative through the use of musical tropes is explored.VOLUME II This quintet for Piano and String Quartet utilizes some of the film music tropes mentioned in Volume I to create an implied narrative. However the programmatic narrative of the piece isn’t revealed to the audience in hopes that the recognizable tropes help convey the meaning of the narrative.

▼ This thesis concerns the marketing, appropriation
and consumption of affect in contemporary Cuban tourism. Since its
rapid development to generate hard currency during the economic
crisis of the 1990s, tourism has become the centre of the Cuban
economy. More recently, following the radical reforms brought in
under Raúl Castro, changes in private enterprise ventures have
expanded touristic contact spaces beyond the previous controls of
the formal sector. A range of services has emerged, responding to
tourists’ demands to have an intimate, authentic experience of
Cuba. Using the lens of affective capital, this study combines a
consideration of this complex, rapidly-changing context with two
further facets of the phenomenon: an analysis of the affective
dimensions of Cuba’s representation in touristic texts, such as
marketing, guidebooks, travel literature and online forums, and a
discussion of the affective negotiations between host and guest on
the ground. The strategic appropriation of affective capital
identified in this thesis offers an original perspective on
revolutionary Cuba’s tourism development. The resurgence of sex
tourism since the resurrection of the tourism industry has been the
dominant focus of previous scholarship, ignoring the wider ‘market
of feelings’ that operates through tourism. In particular,
approaches have been quick to emphasise the incongruity of
prostitution in the context of revolutionary socialism, offering
one-dimensional analyses of the state and the Cuban population. In
addition, approaches from Tourism Studies have tended to be
tourist-centric. This thesis draws together these actors with a
dialogic approach in order to reveal some key complexities. The
mixed methods approach combines textual analysis with some
participative methods, carried out during a fieldwork trip in 2012,
to address the connections between the lived realities of affective
capital in Cuban tourism, the discourses that constitute it, and
the social context.The findings reveal that Cuba is cast as a site
of affective wealth through certain discourses and practices of
tourism. Firstly, in describing the ways that Cuba is articulated
through affective codes in touristic texts, this research
reconfigures approaches to tourism’s world-making function through
the framework of symbolic capital; it challenges the idea that
revolutionary tourism policy is one-dimensional. Secondly, in
looking at the lived realities of these discourses, the thesis
critically addresses the kinds of negotiations relating to
emotional work, bad feelings, and currency by both parties of the
tourist encounter; this perspective extends important scholarship
on tourism and affect in new directions based on the specificity of
the Cuban context.

▼ This thesis is an exploration of
affect theory and emotional rhetoric in the 2016 Presidential Election, and specifically in Donald Trump’s candidacy, first through a series of rhetorical readings of Trump’s rhetoric on the campaign trail and after his election. The first section of this thesis focuses on Donald Trump and the various rhetorical spaces he uses to reach his supporters through affectual means. Next, I will apply
affect theory to Trump’s political rhetoric in order to illustrate how
affect is intrinsic to his rhetoric and how he communicates to his audience. I find that utilizing texts by cultural rhetoric critics, namely those which discuss
affect theory and the culture of emotion such as Sara Ahmed’s The Cultural Politics of Emotion, and culture and rhetorical spaces in Julie Lindquist’s A Place to Stand: Politics and Persuasion in a Working Class Bar, allows us to better understand the underlying cultural impetuses which created the conditions for Donald Trump’s presidency. In the third section, I examine how these theoretical frameworks provide an understanding of how fake news contributed to the current American climate of a post-truth media culture. And in the final section, I explore how satirical rhetoric is employed both as a defense against and as a rhetorical utility for Donald Trump, namely in his use of carnivalesque techniques and rhetoric to appeal to his voter’s sense of rebellion against and cynicism toward the political establishment. In doing so, I argue that Trump’s use of
affect, particularly in his targeted approach to appeal to his base’s existential, socio-economic, and racial fears, was essential to his success in the 2016 Presidential election.

▼ The year 1968 saw the rise of a manifold protest movement among Italian university students that evolved well into the late 1970s and spread to all segments of society. Today, the memory of this collective experience represents one of the most haunting episodes of the 20th century. Torn between celebrating national events and giving in to cultural amnesia, the Italian cultural discourse around ’68 appears deliberately opaque. In recent historiography, fiction, and film this momentous year appears to be condensed in a puzzle of contrasting snapshots that do not fit well together. On one hand, it is remembered as a watershed event that altered the course of the nation’s history and the lives of individuals in radical ways. On the other hand, many ’68 storytellers mourn the complete erasure of their experience from contemporary culture and criticize the moral wasteland that is associated with the current political arena when contrasted with the vanished hopes of the past. From Luisa Passerini to Guido Viale, from Erri De Luca to Giovanni Moro, a generation of protagonists and witnesses of those times raise through their work a number of urgent questions that deal with issues of periodization, selective perception, genealogical inheritance, and a paralyzing feeling of melancholia. Such questions do not seem to find answers within traditional historical or sociological approaches. At the same time, these accounts pose problems of their own, as they reflect a desire to simultaneously preserve and shatter the memory of 1968 as it has come to be celebrated in popular culture. My dissertation is in dialogue with a vast intellectual constellation that encompasses historical, theoretical, literary, and cinematic readings of 1968. As I investigate the existing narrative production around the ’68 phenomenon, I question what lies at the heart of the possessive forms of memory that have come to characterize our present approach to that time. In doing so, I challenge the current widespread view that sees possessive memory as an obstacle to a proper understanding of the past. On the contrary, I argue that it is precisely by looking closer at the stumbling blocks that seem to hinder the flow of historical narrative surrounding ’68 that we might get at the core of our collective attachment to that time, a bond that is shaped by the labor of forces and emotions that cannot yet be put to rest. My research pays particular attention to the ways in which the memory of ’68 has been defiantly organized at the narrative level as an attempt to resist periodization. Thus, I interpret such resistance as a way to protract the presence of ’68 beyond its temporal confines and ultimately deny the symbolic death of a groundbreaking collective experience. Through the analysis of the narrative figuration of the ghost, I explore the ways in which melancholia — the feeling of painful attachment to a lost ideal — can be taken to be an affirmative disposition that originates a form of critical agency on the part of the ’68 storytellers. The imperative need…

▼ Nowadays we are in a very competitive market where products have all very sustainable competitive advantages. It is difficult to find the difference between products. Finding a new way to reach this advantage of differentiation from one to another is becoming the key issue for companies to survive in this context. Traditional marketing strategies focusing on price or quality are not anymore a long-term source of differentiation and competitive advantage. A way to reach differentiation is by means of a much stronger focus on the customer. Experiential marketing is this new way by making the customers living an experience through the creation of emotions. Experiential marketing has for goal to create emotions to the customer that lead to enjoy an experience for the consumer and affect his attitude and behavior. It is very useful as a differentiation strategy to sell utilitarian product from everyday life. However aesthetic products like art or luxury products created by the genius of artists and couturiers create emotions by themselves. So, we focused on the luxury goods field because we wanted to know if experiential marketing had an effect on consumers in this field even if luxury goods products already create emotions by themselves. Moreover, some people are more sensitive to emotions and aesthetic than others. We also wanted to know if experiential marketing had an impact on these people. Our paper tries to go further on this subject by comparing to types of store of the company Lancel (a luxury company of leather goods) one is using experiential marketing and the other is not. For our research we first had to read scientific articles, books and previous studies on emotions and experiential marketing. Then, we developed three hypotheses which helped us to conduct our research and draw conclusions. Those hypotheses have been discussed by conducting a mixed research that is to say by combining a qualitative research with a quantitative one. In the quantitative research we compared the emotions felt and the purchase intention in the different stores of Lancel to see if the store which uses experiential marketing has better results. In the qualitative research we wanted to know the reasons why Lancel has developed this new concept of store. The quantitative research was conducted by administrating questionnaires in the different stores of Lancel. We had a deductive approach. The qualitative research, based on a descriptive approach, was carried out by creating structured interviews. The results we were enable to get thanks to these data, allowed us to draw conclusions regarding our research. In this paper, we compare emotions people feel in a store that uses experiential marketing and in a one which doesn‘t to see if there are differences in their attitude and behavior due to experiential marketing.

▼ This dissertation examines the ways in which postwar art historical discourses routinely trivialize feminine creative, emotional, and physical labor, as well as the artists whose work is associated with this labor. It takes form of five case studies, each of which coheres around a different type of feminized laborer, including the domestic, the cook, the entertainer, the hostess, and the widow. It asserts that the labor that characterizes these roles gets written over by art historical practices that cannot conceive of time as doing anything but moving forward, of radicality as involving anything other than rejection of the past and of artistic and social conventions, and of the art object as anything other than autonomously authored and produced. These case studies do not correspond with an examination of four independent artists. Rather, they emulate the gendered work of American kin-work, a set of sustaining practices identified and studied by social scientists since the eighties. Each chapter traces a network of relations between artists whose affiliations are not legible within traditional art historical narratives. The artists who populate this study include a selection of those whose work has been trivialized on the basis of its affiliation with feminized labor, such as Janet Sobel, Lee Krasner, Mierle Laderman Ukeles, Charlotte Moorman, and J Morgan Puett. These artist's careers span the transition from modernist to postmodernist art practices and several generations of feminist thought. These figures do not just serve to represent exclusion, however. Nor is it this project's goal to rescue them from obscurity. When we hold back, in order to survey what art historical narratives have left behind, we find that these remains offer alternative methods of meaning making, methods that abide by, rather than seek to dispel, obscurity. This project looks to other contemporary artists whose work addresses itself to the erasure of feminized creative, emotional, and physical labor – including Theaster Gates, Carrie Mae Weems, Lorna Simpson, and Dario Robleto – to develop these historical methods.

▼ While the nonhuman has generally been disregarded as irrelevant to Mexicanist and Central Americanist scholarship on race, sexuality, gender, and politics, this project argues that thinking through the animal was a key method through which twentieth-century writers revised what ought to be considered “natural” and normative. The hypothesis that this project explores is that the animal operates as a figure that contests how the human—or a certain type of human marked by sexuality, gender, and race—has been produced and privileged by society. I argue that the turn to species intensifies during moments of ideological change. Species Sadness thus provides a framework for thinking about three periods of political turmoil in Central America and Mexico in relation to each other—rising fascism in the thirties, incipient feminism in the sixties, and the Sandinista revolution of the seventies—and argues that during moments of ideological revision, the concept of species is central. Interspecies erotics, domestic intimacy with pets, and animal vulnerability, are all unusual, yet key narrative tools to push readers to think beyond the human and define an ethics that is attentive to alterity.

▼ Documentary and docudrama practices have expanded with increasingly convergent media. Cinema, television, and the web conspire to create new vehicles of information and entertainment. Footage is manipulated, reenacted, and narratively altered for viewers who must negotiate flexible and porous parameters of fact and fiction. Bill Nichols began a conversation about documentary’s “blurred boundaries” that has continued and intensified with scholars such as John Corner, Steven Lipkin, Alan Rosenthal, Vivian Sobchack, Derek Paget, and Jonathan Kahana. Documentary and docudrama techniques must be more closely scrutinized and categorized, with particular focus on the importance of reenactment and reflexivity. A phenomenon that illustrates explicit interaction between documentary footage and fictional
affect has remained undefined. My project proposes a new term, “documentary adaptation,” to explain the use of documentary films or television programs as source material for a fictional retelling. Films such as Rescue Dawn (2006), Grey Gardens (2009), Devil’s Knot (2013), or Loving (2016) have an uncanny and indeed literary relationship to previous documentary films conveying the same story. My research reads, theorizes, and contextualizes these adaptations. I note industrial and audience demand for narrative that engages with familiar facts. These unique dramas are sites of affective engagement with history as well as contemporary journalism. The project employs cinema and media
studies terms and techniques to analyze documentary adaptation, to interpret a distinct merger of cinema and television aesthetics. This dissertation revises the dilemmas of documentary and reveals an invention to confront a new era of flexible media.

▼ Taking the It Gets Better Project as its case study, this thesis argues that the ways in which the project represents trauma is through an events-based model that centers the experiences of young, cis, white, gay boys. This is accomplished through a narrative of trauma that puts forward the idea that all queer youth experience trauma as an effect of being queer and that through this normalization they are positioned as all experiencing trauma in the same way. Furthermore, this framing is based upon the centering of sexuality as the primary way trauma manifests, which erases experiences of trauma that are marked by other axes of identity. The first chapter introduces my political commitments and a theoretical framework for interpreting the It Gets Better Project’s representations of trauma. The second chapter addresses the ways in which the project’s mantra, “it gets better,” constructs a linear teleology of queer suffering through an affective attachment to happiness and a melancholic attachment to the figure of the innocent child. The third chapter situates the It Gets Better Project within a broader discourse of queer liberalism to suggest that the project itself works to strengthen the borders of the Canadian and American nation-states. The conclusion suggests that a different practice of reading or remembering death, one attentive to questions of history, can gesture towards a future where ‘it’ can ‘get better.’
