Hello Fediverse! Feels good to be back! With this account I hope to make my small contributions in #romance #horrorliterature research and the #discourse around #horror, #fear, the #uncanny and #affect in general, but also to share some thoughts on the current political and philosophical discourse concerning #affecttheory #psychoanalysis #existentialism and #cosmotechnics
Writing primarily in ENG and GER but also in RU, IT, PT, ESP and maybe even FR!
The Female Complaint
The Unfinished Business of Sentimentality in American Culture
Lauren Berlant (2008)
This book goes so hard. Wow. Gotta do a proper read through again soon. But catch this page for now. Lots of pages of heavy hits like this.

"No one wants to be a bad or compromised kind of force in the world, but the latter is just inevitable. The question is how to develop ways to interrupt their banality and to move them somewhere." - Lauren Berlant, "Affect is the new trauma." #affect #LaurenBerlant #reading
Can LLMs sustain and transform affect
From Affective Publics: Sentiment, Technology, and Politics, by Zizi Papacharissi pg 22:
Therefore, media are capable of sustaining and transmitting affect, in ways that may lead to the cultivation of subsequent feelings, emotions, thoughts, attitudes, and behaviors. The intensity supporting these reactions can be transformed into value, and the tendency to evaluate labor or play by virtue of the intensity behind the feeling with which it is performed produces an affect economy.

My hunch: #affect is key. Information without motivation is impotent.
6.6: Emotional Literacy with Dr Tiffany Millacci
In this week’s episode, Ariel quizzes guest Dr Tiffany Millacci about emotional literacy. What is this relatively new phrase? How can being emotionally literate help us to navigate difficult conversations, awkward interactions, or even generally just having relationships in the first place? Isn’t all this talk of emotions just a different way for the self-help industry to get us to buy stuff?
Join us for a fascinating conversation about a complex topic - we barely skim the surface! But never fear, Dr Millacci has your back; listen in for some good places to start learning more.

Disclaimer: We’re coming from a white, western viewpoint and we recognize the limitations and strictures of that - even within the same cultures and societies (heck, within the same families) emotional expression can vary wildly according to personality, gender, neurodivergence, whatever your social location. This interview necessarily takes broad strokes to begin a conversation about how to better be in community with each other, and it is our hope that we can continue to showcase how this can vary, taking steps towards a solarpunk future where people can disagree - even on important topics like politics and religion - without violence or relationship rupture.

@moritz_negwer @mloxton "Denkverbot" does seem to best approximate the flavor of the implication (e.g., agreeing not to consider #neuroscience data in economics, agreeing not to consider #affect data in cognitive science)...vielen dank!
While Goffman often made it appear as though the self was nothing w/o the situation, we show that in places Goffman wasnt interested in the positive attributes of self, but rather where things he took for granted as "normal" attributes of the self were stripped from them, forcibly or through cultural beliefs, we can see the outlines of an affectually motivated self.

New work on morality, affect, and reputation as the core of the social self. Goffman makes a big appearance!
