Death Matters: Lyric, Affect, and Ethics in British and

▼ The elegy is a poetic genre situated between
personal and public spheres. The critical literature of the genre
often privileges one sphere over the other, whether it be the
personal work of mourning undertaken by the elegist in writing the
poem, or the public and cultural work of memorialization that is
fundamental to the genre. My project examines the work of five
poets – Geoffrey Hill, Seamus Heaney, Paul Muldoon, Medbh
McGuckian, and Denise Riley – whose elegies require a distinct
critical apparatus, one that considers the personal and the public
jointly because these poets’ elegies trouble the very distinction
between the two. In the ethical concerns voiced by the poets –
which range from the aestheticization of death and violence to the
potential profit motives (artistic, commercial) of writing elegy –
as well as in the formal techniques that can either mitigate these
ethical concerns or, in some cases, generate them, these elegies
betray the inextricability of private and cultural modes of grief.
In order to bring disparate parts together –
the personal and the private, the ethical and the aesthetic – I
implement a critical methodology that uses as its central tool the
notion of “linguistic
affect,” which I define (slightly modifying
Riley’s own definition) as “the force of language on the body,” a
force made possible through language’s historically rich
materiality. The scholarly turn to
affect has begun to collapse
distinctions between cultural networks of
affect and the human
bodies they influence; my analysis focuses on the lyric as one
particular linguistic site in which to discern this intersection of
the cultural and the somatic, attending specifically to what Mutlu
Konuk Blasing refers to as the “affective materials of language”:
its affectively charged sounds and rhythms, and the poetic
techniques that harness these affective charges through prosody,
form, and poetic convention. The ethical dilemmas conveyed in the
work of these five elegists are thus symptomatic of the challenge
of articulating a private grief that always speaks beyond
itself.

▼ This dissertation examines the role of negative
affect as a mediator of exemplification effects within the context of two-sided messages. To address this research, the dissertation integrates theories from information processing (e.g.,
affect primacy), information seeking (e.g., Risk Information Seeking and Processing model; RISP), and risk perception (e.g.,
affect heuristic) with the mass communication
theory of exemplification. Focusing on the effects of information processing and risk perception, Chapter 3 reports on an experimental study that empirically tests the degree to which exemplars, by way of negative
affect, influence readers' two-sided message recall and risk perception surrounding two controversial risk issues: vaccination and raw milk. Most important, the study bridges research on
affect and risk perception with exemplification
theory, while also providing practical guidelines for improved risk communication within the fields of public health and journalism. Chapter 4 documents a study that empirically tests the degree to which exemplars, by way of negative
affect, influence readers' information seeking intentions and behavior, notably online comment reading. Most important, the study expands the RISP model by (1) bridging risk information seeking with exemplification
theory (2) situating RISP within a novel methodological setting (i.e., a randomized experiment), and (3) measuring a specific information seeking behavior not yet studied in RISP (i.e., online comment reading). Overall, findings from the dissertation can (1) help expand our understanding of exemplification
theory as it relates to visual exemplars and balanced reporting; (2) more precisely identify sources of risk amplification, uneven recall, and risk information seeking; (3) provide policy tools for improved risk communication in the field of journalism and public health.

▼ This paper investigates the dynamics of processing social events within the Arabic language culture, and differences in event processing between American and Arabic language cultures through the use of an experimental design. The results of
hierarchical linear modeling suggest little variation between people, and do not support the need for different equations based on subcultural differences. I also find Arabic models are more concise compared to the English models and different effects
are found for behavior potency. In conclusion, verification studies are needed to determine the viability of these equations for future investigation.

▼ This thesis approaches hopelessness through the work of Deleuze and Guattari, situating their thought in relation to Baruch Spinoza and Brian Massumi. Drawing on Massumi’s theorizing of fear, and Spinoza’s theorizing the link between hope and fear, I argue that hope keeps bodies and politics bound to a future that comes to organize the present. From this perspective, I argue that hopelessness can become an important element of not only undoing the ways that future forces come to organize the present, but can open immanent ways of participating in the organization of emergent forces. The thesis also clarifies the differences between
affect and emotion, and the body and the
subject. This supports an understanding of politics as the undoing and warding off of hope through attending to hopelessness, and an increase in bodies’ capacities to experiment and participate in the organization of their own desires and situations.

▼ This thesis examines the performance of
affect in relation to gender identity across some of the major works of Willa Cather’s and John Steinbeck’s careers. Throughout this discussion, I contend that Steinbeck—an author not often thought of as projecting feminist concerns—indeed approximates the feminist themes of Cather in his creation of characters who embody nonnormative castes of gender identity, even if Cather does perhaps exceed Steinbeck’s feminist vision in her optimism for the potential of people of nonnormative gender identity to find peace, happiness, and acceptance in an often xenophobic early-twentieth-century America. Over the course of this thesis, I build on the work of
affect theorists such as Sara Ahmed and Anu Koivunen by demonstrating the power of
affect theory as a tool for understanding gender politics and gender identity.

▼ Being Property Once Myself: In Pursuit of the Animal in 20th century African American Literature takes as its central focus the literary imagination, and broader ethical concerns, that have emerged from African American experiences of being configured as the socio-legal equivalents of nonhuman animals. In the midst of such systemic dehumanization, what new ways of thinking about personhood have emerged? How have black authors cultivated a poetics of persistence and interspecies empathy, a literary tradition in which animals are acting up and out in ways we might not expect or yet have a language for? At the level of structure, the dissertation is comprised of four chapters, each of which tracks a specific animal figure—the rat, the cock, the mule and the dog respectively—in the works of four 20th and 21st century authors: Richard Wright, Toni Morrison, Zora Neale Hurston, and Jesmyn Ward. I am primarily interested in how animal figures are deployed in these texts to make counter-hegemonic arguments about the nature of black social, political and interior life, as well as combat certain foundational claims within the western philosophical tradition regarding the limits of human subjectivity broadly construed.

▼ This dissertation undertakes a critical consideration of the productive and beneficent potential of shame. By examining texts in which characters or individuals depart from more traditional narratives, experiences, and/or manifestations of shame, this project aims to deconstruct the historically-entrenched definition of shame as a negative affect and provide a more inclusive and potentially liberating formulation. The introductory chapter charts the dominant trends in shame theory since Freud and articulates some of the main questions that propel the arguments of this dissertation: how do attachments to shame form? What is it that attracts individuals to shame? How do we begin to conceive of a form of shame that does not operate as shame “should?” Via close-readings of Rick Moody’s The Ice Storm, Chapter Two begins to answer some of these questions, examining the relation between shame and desire in order to demonstrate not only the necessity of desire to shame’s instantiation, but the ways in which shame alters our understanding of discourses of desire. Chapter Three investigates the life, writing, and art of Bob Flanagan, performance artist and “supermasochist,” to reveal the sometimes erotic nature of shame. Chapter Four’s analysis of NBC’s The Biggest Loser focuses on the more familiar narrative of shame as an enforcer of social norms, suggesting that the ostensibly passive desire to see others humiliated (schadenfreude) is actually a form of active participation in the modes of governmentality embedded in reality television and thus reveals the ubiquity of attachments to shame in contemporary culture. Chapter Five engages with two Steve McQueen films—Shame (2011) and Twelve Years a Slave (2013)—in order to suggest that the existence of so many different (and differently productive) relations to shame, when widely visible, produces uncertainty about the relation between, and about what constitutes, shame and/or shamelessness. Chapter Five’s discussion of the (un)reliability of affective markers leads me, in the Conclusion, to provide a new lens through which we might be able to envision the current affective economy of the United States, one paradoxically characterized by both shame and shamelessness.

▼ The present study tested two theoretical models of binge eating (i.e., escape
theory and the
affect regulation model of binge eating) by combining an experimental design with ecological momentary assessment. After undergoing a negative
affect induction, 139 participants, all of whom were current binge eaters, were instructed to eat a pint of ice cream (binge eating condition) or to eat as much as they would during a typical snack (control condition). Participants assigned to the binge eating condition ate either with (binge eating + self-awareness condition) or without (binge eating condition) a visible video camera pointed in their direction. Participants rated their negative
affect in the laboratory at four different time points and in their natural environments via Palm Pilot in the four following hours. A mixed measures analysis of variance and generalized linear mixed effects model were used to test escape
theory and
affect regulation model, respectively. When compared to immediately prior to eating, guilt did not decrease during eating, though having a higher BMI was associated with reductions in guilt during eating. Guilt increased among both the binge eating and binge eating + SA conditions immediately following eating when compared to during eating. Both the control and binge eating conditions experienced postprandial reductions in guilt over the course of the four hours following the laboratory eating episode. However, the binge eating condition experienced these reductions at a faster initial rate with more slowing over time when compared to the control group. Findings provide preliminary support for escape
theory in the context of higher BMI and are consistent with
affect regulation model, as more rapid decreases in guilt are thought to negatively reinforce binge eating and distinguish
affect regulation following binge eating from the mood enhancing effects of normal eating episodes. Future studies should be conducted with a greater sample size and aim to enhance ecological validity to ensure eating in the laboratory represents binge eating episodes occurring outside of the laboratory.

▼ Combining historiographic, rhetorical/analytical and hermeneutic research methodologies, this project takes as its grounding premise that neoliberal rationality is fundamentally reshaping writing and speech practices in the postsecondary higher education setting and beyond; and doing by ordering the ecology of writing at virtually every level of scale. Although ecologically-oriented writing research has thoroughly excavated and theorized writing’s environmental production, and demonstrated that its emergent properties comport with the laws governing complex systems, research focusing acutely on the political materiality of writing alongside writing
theory has not been so thorough; nor has
theory attended to how the neoliberal transformation bears on writing. This project moves to fill that gap by investigating the specific rhetorical-affective dimensions through which this reconstitution has occurred. How does neoliberalism—understood as a normative order of reason and a political rationality—intervene and order writing at the level of the
subject? How do student indebtedness and other epiphenomenal developments with the ascent of neoliberalism allow for its ethos to infiltrate and inform what we write and how we represent the self in writing? These inquires turn the dissertation toward the constitution of the modern writing (neoliberal)
subject. Against the movement in ecological writing research away from the study of subjectivity (Sánchez 2007; Hawk 2007; Dobrin 2011; Whicker 2013), this project situates the writing
subject at the nexus of this project; I argue that the writer as critical to understanding how writing is moved by neoliberal
affect in circulation—a third key research question. Taking a discursive approach to the study of neoliberal rationality, the chapters are loosely structured to comport with Jean-Jacques Lecercle’s model for interpreting discourse from historical, social, material and political perspectives, along with its faculty for producing subjectivity (Lecercle 2009). The chapters offer a history of neoliberalism and the rise of student debt as parallel, epiphenomenal and interdependent occurrences; a genealogy of important developments in ecologically-oriented writing research; and take up the University of California system as a case study—spanning two chapters—in how debt and neoliberal rationality shape institutional politics and policies. Blending qualitative and hermeneutic research into campus activism from 2014 to 2016, UC has also been ground zero for a clash between neoliberalism’s anti-political, counter-public ethos and the emergence of new—and deeply maligned—forms of disruptive writing and dissenting speech. Part work of political
theory and part work of rhetorical/writing
theory, the project brings together ecologically-based writing research and the emergence of neoliberalism to argue these research vectors are deeply interdetermining and inextricable, both with critical import for what writing is (its ontology) and how it works.

Cognition and Affect in Sociological Theory: Cognitive-Affective Linkages in Values, Mood, and Boundaries.

▼ Understandings of culture have long had a cognitive bias in sociological
theory. To amend this, I propose a general
theory of cognitive-affective linkages that aids cultural sociology in particular, but is of relevance to many different areas of sociology. I identify several theoretical precedents, Hochschild’s
theory of feeling rules and gender ideology as well as a few ideas from Freudian psychoanalysis, to reconstruct an intellectual path leading to a conception of discursive affects. The general
theory of these culturally channeled affects transcends many traditional dichotomies in sociological
theory, e.g. between language and the body, the individual and the social, and even between culture and the economic. Three empirical sites of discursive affects are then analyzed on a meta-theoretical level: 1) Values are shared evaluative cognitions or representations of good and evil with strong affective attachments. 2) Mood is a shared affective experience, not consciously identified as such, yet influencing cognitive-social perceptions. 3) Symbolic boundaries are collective fantasies of identity maintained by the cognitive and affective work of a group. Throughout the essay, features extracted from each of these exemplars are synthesized to produce a social ontology in which cognition and
affect are inseparable social-historical powers constituting individual experience and the individual as we know it.

▼ This dissertation seeks to articulate how early modern texts formalize their affective qualities in instances of ambiguity. Positioned within the recent turn away from humoral theories of the passions and toward the rhetorical underpinnings of
affect in early modern criticism, my project offers an interpretive strategy that privileges the perspective of the text by attending to the vulnerabilities of first-person perspectives in ambiguous rhetorical structures and figures. I argue that these forms signal more than sites of critical debate encoded in the text, as Shoshanna Feldman has suggested; they also privilege textual perspective and reveal
affect to be a feature of form. I argue that textual ambivalence may be approached through the logic of catachresis in order to examine how these instances may be read in ways that maintain the strangeness of their didactic and disruptive capability. Reorienting how one approaches ambiguity, I suggest, exposes the potential of often ignored textual elements and suggests that early modern literature models an interpretive agenda dependent upon vulnerable perspectives.
Reconceiving the interpretive strategies solicited by each text, I argue that early modern literature embraces the benefits of individual and collective vulnerability. I examine how Marlowe’s Edward II disrupts the binary structure of the king’s two bodies in order to turn an accusation of weakness against authority itself. I turn to Donne’s poetry and prose to argue that it models a hospitable interpretive method that uses form to manage ambiguity from the perspectives of his textual voices while orienting readers to welcome the strangeness of his contradictions. I then pursue an analysis of Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part I that reorients Falstaff’s function in the play as its unlikely focal perspective, a position that stages a resistance to the play’s power structures. Finally, I briefly consider how my analysis bears on familial and rhetorical conventions in Shakespeare’s Tempest and Webster’s Duchess of Malfi.
Attending to the formal practices that construct literary
affect, this project reconsiders the ways in which early modern English literature navigates the intersections of vulnerability that articulate a text’s orientation to the cultural networks in which it was produced.

▼ Objective: To evaluate the influence of positive
affect inductions on daily and weekly Positive and Negative
Affect Scales (PANAS) in a community setting. Methods: Humor messages were distributed to participants four times per day during a treatment week with general health messages distributed in the crossover week. Subjects completed a series of self-report psychosocial and behavioral survey instruments on a weekly basis and daily PANAS responses. Messages were delivered through either email or SMS/text messages. Results: The daily and weekly PANAS scores were higher during treatment periods compared to the neutral periods. The observed trends were suggestive of successful positive
affect induction although the statistical analysis did not indicate statistically significant group differences. Conclusions: The induction of positive
affect manipulations in a community setting appears to have potential. Future research with larger cohorts and refined methods to limit missing data may lead to further insights on positive
affect influences. There are indications that positive
affect may be increased through humor messages in an applied setting.

▼ Happiness is one of western culture’s most valorised emotions. It is frequently considered to be the emotion worthy of living one’s life in pursuit of. However, on the side of the left, happiness is often regarded with suspicion, recognised as operating in the service of neoliberal, sexist, racist, classist, homophobic, and normative agendas. More closely associated with advertising than radical leftist politics, happiness can, to name just a few examples, work to uphold dominant cultural ideals, drive materialism, mask cynical corporate agendas, justify inequality, sustain the illusion of meritocracy. It can function as a disciplinary demand, directing subjects along paths of generationally handed down convention and alienating those that do not feel appropriately. It can be an object requiring aggressive protection. Recently, however, a number of critics, activists and filmmakers, have turned to happiness and other positive emotions as objects of analysis. This dissertation builds on and contributes to this growing body of work concerned with the politics of good feeling. Although happiness is the main key term for this dissertation, good feeling, in its definitional capaciousness, in its capacity to encompass a range of emotional structures and affective experience, more accurately describes this thesis’s object of enquiry. This dissertation is less concerned with the ontology of any particular positive emotion than its agency—political, ideological, cinematic. It considers what good feeling does, or can do, when put in service of a queer political project. I do not offer a single theory of happiness, optimism, or feel good affect, nor are the texts selected on the basis that they collectively represent a single strategic relation to positive feeling. Rather, each chapter offers not only a specific model of good feeling with its own structure, fantasies, and experiential affects, but also a political vision and world view that is not necessarily consistent with that of the other texts. With an emphasis on what is enabling, felicitous, performative, rather than what is true or false, this thesis eschews the need for philosophical coherence between its texts, espousing the idea that divergent political discourses can operate side by side, differently advantageous within particular contexts. Each chapter explores the ways in which discourses of positive emotion can work to sustain contemporary structures of inequality, but also the ways in which the pursuit of, or attachment to, good feeling may direct one toward alternative social arrangements, modes of ethical being, and new norms for living. The films and television programs under consideration thematise the politics of positive feeling in a way that speaks not only to the body of anti-racist, feminist, queer, work on political feeling but to the erotic, gendered and class politics their respective forms. For instance, Todd Solondz’s Dark Horse’s examination of failure and optimism critiques the way in which the recent popularity of a production oriented mode of…

▼ By the first decade of the 21st century, human migration had increased to an unprecedented volume and has now become a common experience. Although numerous studies have theorized migration, two changing societal contexts energy stress and technological advances increasingly challenge the adequacy of existing understandings of migration. The majority of current migration research is based on classical models, which abstract migration as a decision-then-move process. This abstraction can be traced to a commonly accepted assumption in social sciences: humans are primarily rational beings and thus usually consciously plan their behaviour. However, using in-depth interviews with academic and student migrants, this thesis argues that migration is not always a decision. The empirical evidence encourages the consideration of embodiment into migration studies; i.e., the body and the mind are not two separated faculties but different expressions of the same being. Thus, besides exploring activities of the mind, such as decisions, we can also understand migration through bodies. Through embodiment, this thesis argues that the philosophical foundation of classical migration models should be reconsidered. Among classical models, the push-pull model offers the most accurate description for the empirical evidence of this research. In the push-pull model, migrants are pushed by negative factors in their origins and pulled by positive factors in their destinations. The passivity of human behaviour, which is ignored by many models, is innately addressed in the push-pull model. However, the push-pull model, both in its original form and later versions, is constrained by some assumptions, particularly relating to rational choice, which must be challenged from the perspective of embodiment. Building on the push-pull framework, this thesis scrutinizes such assumptions and re-interprets them through embodiment. The embodied push-pull
theory argues that push and pull factors must be understood through migrants experiences, including active aspects, such as planning, and passive aspects, such as affect. Both activity and passivity reside in migrants bodies, taking effect through desire, memory, and perception. Bodies, though diverse, cannot escape from the socio-cultural context in which they are produced. Therefore, this thesis proposes an embodied understanding of migration, requiring researchers to explore bodies, as well as the context producing bodies.

A NON-REPRESENTATIONAL FOCUS ON WILDERNESS AFFECT.

▼ Wilderness is integral to the fabric of American culture. With the National Wilderness Preservation System, America has a measure against which everyday life may be compared. But there remains concern over disconnection between members of society and wilderness. Nonrepresentational theory (non-rep) is a rich and recent style of scientific practice that holds potential. Non-rep places emphasis on habitual practices and everyday life. Those interested in human affection for and connection with wilderness and the outdoors may find non-rep intellectually and practically refreshing. One aspect of this study offers a macrostructural analysis of the levels, layers, and sub-layers on which non-representational theory is founded. The analysis is intended to serve as a map for future outdoor recreation scholars interested in non-representational research. A great strength of non-rep is its capacity to inform research paths into the dynamics of human–nature connections. This study clearly marks one such path.
Affect is a popular theoretical construct that has received substantial scholarly attention in nonrepresentational theory and elsewhere through the so-called affective turn. To reveal insight into the concept of affect, another aspect of this study focuses on wilderness affect through a nonrepresentational theoretical lens. Research indicates that societal and cultural forces play an influential role in wilderness relationships. What’s lacking is a focus on how wilderness may affectively influence, build, or sustain human–wilderness relations at the personal rather than societal scale. Through the performance of non-representational research methods, 15 people participated in a study of how wilderness affect occurs in everyday life. For one week following a visit to the Moosehorn Wilderness Area participants kept a diary and camera to take notes and photographs when wilderness feelings or ideas formed. The diary-photograph, diary-interview method was augmented with exemplary and evocative anecdotes. The results of the study show some of the ways the emergence of affect becomes perceptible. It offers an example for how affect-oriented inquiry can be carried out and thereby can inform further outdoor recreation research. Wilderness affect is suggested as a different way of thinking about the potential to appreciate and respond to the differences that emerge from relations with wild nature. The study helps focus further inquiry into human–wilderness relations.

▼ I defend the view that the value of every contribution to individual well-being is explained by affective experience, suitably defined. In Chapter 1, I set out a methodological approach centered on Rawlsian wide reflective equilibrium and offer considerations in favor of affective experience as a uniquely powerful explanation of contributions to well-being. The remaining three chapters employ affective experience as an explanation of the goodness of the goods proposed by three leading theories of wellbeing: hedonism, desired-based views, and objective list views. In Chapter 2, I offer arguments against attitudinal conceptions of pleasure and defend instead an affective conception of pleasure that provides a plausible way of unifying two major phenomenological conceptions of pleasure. In Chapter 3, I defend an affective conception of desire and offer arguments against motivational and cognitivist conceptions of desire. In Chapter 4, I provide an account of reasons for affective states and apply this account to several purportedly objective goods: love, friendship, virtue, and self-respect. The goodness of these goods for individuals, I argue, can be explained by appeal to affective experience in a way that does not depart from what is most important in subjective approaches to well-being. Having offered a deeper explanation of the goodness of the various goods proposed by these three leading theories of well-being, I conclude that my
theory is preferable to them.

▼ This thesis offers a critical interrogation of the relationship between and co-production of bodies, texts and spaces. It introduces and develops the concept of the embodied imagination through the philosophy of Spinoza and recent Spinozist thinkers as a way of informing a materialist account of the production of experience. The embodied imagination, as material and affective, can supplement a Foucauldian account of subjectivation through its ability to offer an account of experience ‘after the subject’ – of experience as the surface effects of the movement of affect through and across bodies, texts and spaces that are productive of transsubjective social imaginaries. This can contribute to a fuller account of subject production and to a formulation of embodied politics based on a political analytic of feeling. These conceptual arguments are mobilised through exemplars from ethnographic fieldwork based on the geographical concerns of landscape, embodied practice and place imaginaries. In particular, I point to specific outdoor practices, techniques and regimes that, in their imbrication in certain imaginaries, contribute to a sense of place and belonging. Through a ‘thoroughly materialist’ approach to these concerns, bodies’ involvement in material relations with other bodies and with the world are shown to be central to experience-production. I argue too that this approach can expose the relations of power that produce the very materialities of bodies, and as such can shed light on the politics of the nonrepresentational and its centrality to the production of embodied subjectivities. In doing so, a postfoundational sociology of embodied experience is formulated that operates according to a politics of radical contingency. This postfoundational perspective foregrounds an ontology of the encounter over presence: an ontogenetic account of the emergence of bodies, texts and spaces from their material imbrication in a world charged with affective resonance.

▼ This thesis maps out the phenomenological and ontological contours of ‘hope’ in an attempt to challenge traditional individualistic, psychologized, and normative accounts, and to reconceptualise hope as a practice of control. Spinoza and Deleuze’s
theory of
affect is used to develop an understanding of the ‘hoping body’ as the effect of a symbiotic encounter with a conglomerate of forces. The spatio-temporal dynamics and relations of power at work in this larger conglomerate are also explored through Deleuze and Guattari’s assemblage
theory. Ultimately, this thesis argues that hope inaugurates complex practices of mobility control by operating as a claim about the necessity of a particular pathway and vehicle in the present that is grounded on the possibility of a desirable destination in the future.

Feeling Capitalism: The Victorian Novel as Affective Response to Social Transformation.

▼ This dissertation argues that Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights (1847), Charles Dickens’s Great Expectations (1860-1), and George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1871-2) constellate the affective dimensions of life under advancing capitalism around three dominant emotions: desire, guilt, and disappointment. In each case, the focalizing emotion, I argue, is not only specific to this or that character, but also a dominant structuring affect of the work as a whole, which, in turn, has historical specificity to the decade of the novel’s production. Chapter 2 relates Brontë’s depiction of Heathcliff and Catherine’s insatiable desire to the romantic-libertarianism of the 1840s and the autonomization of desire in the newly privatized space of the bourgeois family, which, I argue, widened its symbolic valences, making it available for Brontë’s mythologization of history as the struggle of desire against repression. Chapter 3 explores Dickens’s sense of society’s inexorable guilt in relation to the “liberal guilt” that followed in the years after the failed proletarian revolutions of 1848, attaching negative connotations to individual “great expectations,” which now appear to be necessarily at the cost of the less fortunate. Such negative connotations ironize Dickens’s title providing it with its dominant “structure of feeling.” Chapter 4 connects Eliot’s sense of inescapable disappointment and resignation to the lowered expectations of the 1870s, when the millenarian spirit of the former decades subsided into what, for many, felt like a Victorian “end of history.” Disappointment, however, comes with a new clarity—a realism that now grasps society as an evolving historical totality. Against theorists like Brian Massumi, who posit affect as ahistorical and nonrepresentational, this dissertation argues instead for the centrality of affect to a historicizing literary criticism that attempts to forge a connection between a novel’s narrative style and what Fredric Jameson calls its “political unconscious.” In so doing, I put forward a theory of affect as a mediatory category, bringing together novelistic representations and lived historical experience in such a way that allows us to interpret Wuthering Heights, Great Expectations, and Middlemarch as three affective responses to social transformations wrought by capitalism in the nineteenth century—three different ways of feeling capitalism.

Laughter without Humor: Affective Passages through Post-War Culture

▼ There is a scene in Margaret Atwood's dystopian novel The Handmaid's Tale in which Offred, eponymous handmaid to the totalitarian theocracy that now governs America, is overwhelmed by the sudden need to laugh. Spasms wrack her body. She crams her hands into her mouth, she fears she will vomit, she imagines she is giving birth. Finally, well aware that her convulsions would register as subversion to a regime that polices bodies and supervises affects, Offred crawls into a cupboard in an effort to "compose herself." Laughter without Humor arose from this passage, from the inexplicable laughter that overwhelms Offred's disciplined body and demolishes her carefully composed self. The suspicion that laughter challenges the self-contained "I" has always been buried in our idioms: the
subject "dissolves" in laughter, the individual proliferates suddenly into a "barrel" or "bundle" of laughs, ontological boundaries are breached as we "roar" or "bark" with laughter. In the twentieth-century, laughter appears across a wide variety of artistic forms as a vigorous affective force capable of convulsing being and exploding calcified structures of thought. This project examines the interrelationship between fictional depictions of humorless laughter and the dissolution and reconfiguration of the
subject in poststructuralist
theory. The field of humor studies, which counts Aristotle, Kant, and Freud among its contributors, avoids laughter's irrational properties and instead offers scientific reasons – physiological, evolutionary, and psychological – as to why we laugh. In contrast, Laughter without Humor seeks to understand laughter on its own terms by posing an alternate question: what does laughter do? In four chapters, I consider four discrete strains of humorless laughter: the dankly corporeal flow of a specifically female "dangerous laughter" (Chapter 1), the blustering wave of "ecstatic laughter" associated with mystic experience (Chapter 2), an infectious "grotesque laughter" that tosses the individual back and forth between ontological categories with uncanny fervor (Chapter 3), and the shattering shriek of "atomic laughter" that indexes the experience of total nuclear annihilation (Chapter 4). In particular I focus on literary work from William James, André Breton, T.S. Eliot, Nathanael West, Henri Michaux, Kurt Vonnegut, Stanley Kubrick, Margaret Atwood, and Steven Millhauser; and on philosophical texts by Friedrich Nietzsche, Georges Bataille, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze, Hélène Cixous, Catherine Clément, Julia Kristeva, Édouard Glissant, Brian Massumi, and Eugenie Brinkema. I ultimately argue that the messy burst of laughter disturbs the intelligibility of both self and text. In so doing, it clears a space to imagine new, provisional models of personhood that are based on affective entanglement rather than rational self-containment.

▼ Traditional religion has collapsed in the West, at least according to many theorists of the modern religious landscape such as Charles Taylor. This has led to a diversification of what Lois Lee has identified as existential cultures—tropes and communities that address the questions, frailties, and limitations of human life. Mary Midgley’s work on the culture of science has demonstrated that science is one such existential culture. Taking Midgley’s lead, this thesis explores the soteriological potential of science insofar as it has the ability to remediate existential anxiety, meaning that it can facilitate a transition from negative affect to neutral or positive affect regarding the embodied limitations of human life. This requires three moves that comprise part I of the thesis: 1) the responsible deployment of evolutionary theory and cognitive science in the humanities, 2) a robust understanding of the material power of affectivity, and 3) an exploration of salvation as a “religion-like thing” that is not specific to religious doctrine but rather is an affective, phenomenological potentiality inherent to subjects across traditional religious-secular divides. Part II entails three case studies: biologist Ursula Goodenough, who is saved from the thought of death by interpreting the germ-soma distinction of multicellular organisms, popular philosopher Sam Harris, who is saved by the ability science has to disambiguate questions of morality, spiritual belief, and spiritual practice, and zoologist E.O. Wilson, who is saved by the ways in which science helps him develop a more intimate relationship with nature as his sacred home. Identifying science as salvific for these thinkers provides a means by which to theorise about experience beyond traditional religious-secular bounds and demonstrates the affective power inherent to science not just as a discipline but also as a salvific cultural phenomenon.

▼ 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.

▼ Affektmedvetenhet avser förmågan att vara medveten om, tolerera och uttrycka affekter. Affektskola är en gruppintervention och avser att öka individers affektmedvetenhet samt förmågan att uppleva och uttrycka affekter. Forskning avseende affektskola har gjorts på kliniska grupper men få studier har utförts på en icke-klinisk population. Psykologstudenter kan argumenteras gynnas av en hög affektmedvetenhet och känsla av sammanhang (KASAM) i sin kommande profession. Även hög KASAM kan ses som fördelaktigt då det korrelerar med psykisk hälsa. Studien syftade att undersöka effekterna av genomförd modifierad version av affektskola med frågeställningen om affektskola leder till ökad affektmedvetenhet och KASAM. 33 psykologstudenter vid Linnéuniversitetet fick förfrågan om deltagande. Deltagarna fyllde i självskattningsformulär (KASAM-29, TAS-20, Affektfobitestet) före affektskolans start, efter affektskolan avslutats samt en månad efter affektskolan avslutats. Resultatet visade på nästintill oförändrade medelvärden mellan mättillfällena och att interventionen affektskola inte ledde till någon mätbar förändring. Resultatet talar för att affektmedvetenhet och KASAM är stabila egenskaper. Korrelationsanalyser visade däremot på medelstarka korrelationer mellan affektmedvetenhet och KASAM. Framtida studier bör vidare undersöka detta samband för att ge en djupare förståelse för dess förhållande till psykisk ohälsa.
Affect consciousness is the ability to be aware of, tolerate and express affects. Affect-school is a group intervention that aims to increase individuals' affect consciousness and ability to experience and express affects. Studies on affect-school have been made on clinical groups but only a few on nonclinical populations. Psychology students are arguable favoured by high levels of affect consciousness in their future profession. High levels of sense of coherence (SOC) is also favorable as SOC correlates with mental health. The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of a modified version of affect-school with the research question if affect-school leads to increased levels of affect consciousness and SOC. 33 psychology students at Linnéaus University were asked to participate. The contestants completed questionnaires (KASAM-29, TAS-20, Affektfobitestet) before the affect-school begun, after the affect-school was terminated and one month after the affect-school was terminated. The results showed almost no changes of the mean values between the different times of measurement which indicates that the intervention did not lead to any changes. The results suggest that affect consciousness and SOC are stable traits. However, correlation analysis indicated moderate correlations between affect consciousness and SOC. This correlation should be further investigated in future studies to provide a deeper understanding of the constructs and their relationship to mental health.

▼ The purpose of this study was to discover whether three individual factors: gender, age and nature relatedness, and psychological instructions on a nature walk have an effect on the change in sustained attention and affect. Also, the connection of the variables representing two theories, ART (attention) and SRT (affect), was studied. The research was conducted in the summer of 2017 and was a part of a project called Restowalk funded by Kone Foundation. Originally, there were 122 participants, most were women (86 %), aged 18-63. The nature walk took place in a well-maintained urban park. The participants followed a pre-defined path and the psychological instructions on a smartphone. They were divided into three groups. One group received instructions related to restoration, one related to imagination-based instructions and one did not receive any instructions. Before and after the walk the participants completed a sustained attention test (SART) and a self-assessment on affect (Affect Grid). Hierarchical multiple regression analysis was used to study the influence of the psychological instructions and individual factors on the changes in sustained attention and affect. The correlations between the sustained attention variables and affect were studied using Pearson correlation coefficient. It was discovered that the instructions had no effect on the changes in sustained attention or affect. Gender and age were connected to one dimension of affect, pleasure. The younger the person, the more increase in pleasure. This was also the case with women as there was more positive change for them in pleasure compared to men. Gender, age and nature relatedness had no effect on the arousal dimension of affect. Nature relatedness had an effect on the change in sustained attention. Altogether, the ones who reported more nature relatedness did worse in the sustained attention test after the walk than the participants who reported less nature relatedness. More nature related participants had less positive change in the sustained attention test compared to less nature related participants. However, it was discovered that this difference did not appear in SART before the walk. As it comes to the connection between sustained attention and affect, statistically significant correlations were found between pleasure and attention but for the arousal dimension of affect no significant correlations were found. Thus, based on this study, no conclusions on the connections between the underlying mechanisms of ART and SRT can be drawn. Further research is encouraged on the influence of psychological instructions on attention and affect along a nature trail, the connections between nature relatedness and attention and the connections between ART and SRT.

▼ Social identities, the labels we use to describe ourselves and others, carry with them stereotypes that have significant impacts on our social lives. Our stereotypes, sometimes without us knowing, guide our decisions on whom to talk to and whom to stay away from, whom to befriend and whom to bully, whom to treat with reverence and whom to view with disgust. Despite these impacts of identities and stereotypes on our lives, existing methods used to understand them are lacking. In this thesis, I first develop three novel computational tools that further our ability to test and utilize existing social theory on identity and stereotypes. These tools include a method to extract identities from Twitter data, a method to infer affective stereotypes from newspaper data and a method to infer both affective and semantic stereotypes from Twitter data. Case studies using these methods provide insights into Twitter data relevant to the Eric Garner and Michael Brown tragedies and both Twitter and newspaper data from the “Arab Spring”. Results from these case studies motivate the need for not only new methods for existing theory, but new social theory as well. To this end, I develop a new sociotheoretic model of identity labeling - how we choose which label to apply to others in a particular situation. The model combines data, methods and theory from the social sciences and machine learning, providing an important example of the surprisingly rich interconnections between these fields.

▼ This dissertation examines the early twentieth-century anxiety that disproportionately high rates of suicide indicated a suicide epidemic. A sense of the suicidal impulse as contagious and most likely to spread amidst the crowded urban environment is especially prominent in the period's scientific discourses, and this anxiety over public hygiene and population control emerges in a strand of modernist fiction that repeatedly portrays the suicidal subject as suffering from an intersubjective contagion rather than intrasubjective anomie. Thus challenging accepted critical narratives of urban suicide as the result of psychic isolation, texts by John Dos Passos, Virginia Woolf, Elizabeth Bowen, and Djuna Barnes suggest the necessity for a more epidemiological reading of self-destruction in modernist literature, and particularly point to affect as the source of modernism's psychic contamination. Departing from early psychoanalytic theories of suicide, and merging fin-de-siècle crowd theories, legal and clinical studies, and recent theories on the circulation of affect, this dissertation analyzes how physical crowding comes to precipitate a breakdown of psychic boundaries, threatening notions of identity and autonomy that the act of suicide sometimes paradoxically reaffirms. Moving from New York, to London, and finally to the culture capitals of continental Europe, an increasingly cosmopolitan engagement reveals affect's capacities to infect and overwhelm the individual, resulting in suicides that instigate progressively more collateral damage and that articulate the self as highly permeable, likely to be endangered by the contagious psychic and bodily states of others.

▼ I study works of fiction and poetry that explore the process by which feelings come to seem relevant or productive to those who experience them and to others. My research seeks to contribute both to literary studies and to recent debates about the political and philosophical usefulness of lived or represented feelings. Contemporary scholars often treat works of literature as sites that help us discover why it is politically or ethically urgent, or epistemically revealing, to pay attention to other persons' and our own emotional experiences. The writers I examine do not stress forceful imperatives to attend to how someone feels. Rather, they call attention to the difficulty of knowing how intensely, when, and why we should do so. Each chapter of my dissertation focuses on one quality of feelings that, one might think, should make these feelings reliable sources of knowledge or potential change. These qualities include feelings' whimsicality (which I examine through Wallace Stevens and Sylvia Plath), their urgency (which I examine by reading Ralph Ellison), their portability (which I examine by reading Virginia Woolf and F. Scott Fitzgerald), their persistence (which I examine by reading John Ashbery), and the quality I will focus on today, their immersiveness (which I examine by reading Marcel Proust and James Baldwin). The writers I study show why such qualities might seem politically or philosophically promising. But they also highlight why it is in fact hard to decide whether feelings that carry such qualities are significant in any larger sense. On a historical level, I argue that the definitions of feeling my chosen writers rely on are inspired by modernist philosophy, political theory, and psychology. These writers' reflections on the unclear importance of feelings can therefore help illuminate the stakes of parallel reflections taking place in these other disciplines. These writers can also thus help us appreciate literature's particular contribution to this strand of modernist intellectual history. More theoretically, I claim that my chosen novelists and poets explore a dimension of emotional experience that has been neglected by contemporary affect theory because of its prevalent emphasis on proving feelings' productivity. My research therefore aims to map out some ways in which these writers' treatment of feeling could help us think more self-critically and more expansively about our current studies of fictional or lived emotional states. In my introduction I present the larger social and intellectual contexts and reasons for modernist literature's particular preoccupation with uncertainly important feelings. For modernist philosophy and politics, emotions are both obstacles and gateways. They are the tools and objects of new philosophical and political ideas that range from psychoanalysis to early communism. But from the first, many thinkers also doubt whether it is possible reliably to parse apart politically or philosophically significant feelings from irrelevant ones. I outline this unease as it is…

▼ This dissertation explores how gendered depictions
of violence, illness, and
disability in Arab cinema complicate
notions of trauma and memory in the Arab
experience. Each chapter
engages with different filmic cases produced in the last two
decades, focusing on works by Mohamed Mouftakir, Amr Salama, Hala
Lotfy, Azza El-
Hassan, and Mohanad Yaqubi, among others. The
first chapter examines the connections
between childhood trauma
and gender binaries in a Moroccan context. The second
chapter
interrogates the representation of HIV/AIDS via predominantly
female
protagonists in Egyptian cinema from the 1980s until the
present day, as well as the
ethics of documenting disability and
illness. The following chapter continues this
discussion by
exploring how Egyptian filmmaker Hala Lotfy depicts the burden of
affective labor. The last chapter explores how two Palestinian
documentaries examining
the legacy of a missing Palestinian film
archive dialectically reconstruct it through
resurfaced archival
materials, as well as the testimonies and interventions of
Palestinians.
This dissertation locates the meaningful spaces of
regeneration and alternative
narratives that contemporary
filmmaking practices offer in the Arab world. I focus
specifically
on how feminist filmmakers define, renegotiate, and decolonize
regional
archives through filmmaking practices and social
activism. Examining several
contemporary films about the lived
experience of Arab women, this project demonstrates
how certain
films mobilize micronarratives to excavate counterhistories from
the
margins.

▼ The current study sought to understand the communicative construction of emotion in nonprofit organizations. Two research questions asked how nonprofit workers communicatively construct their emotion regarding the nature of nonprofit work and concerning their relationships with other nonprofit workers. Seventeen nonprofit workers were interviewed within one organization. Findings include defining, contextualizing, and constructing emotion explicitly in relation to the nature of nonprofit work. Concerning their relationships with other nonprofit workers, nonprofit workers relate to the organization, construct identities, and construct relationships with one another. The current work qualitatively adds to organizational communication literature, particularly at the intersection of nonprofit work, workers, and emotion. Most importantly, this study complicates current conceptualizations of emotion in nonprofit organizations by bringing in ideas of affect theory.

▼ 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.
