Introducing Affect

What is ‘affect’, why does it matter, and why did people working in the humanities and social sciences start talking about it so much from the 1990s onwards?
This is a quick introduction to this topic, which was recorded in a hurry to make up for the fact that our big seminar on ‘the affective turn’ had to be postponed. That seminar will now take place March 23rd 2024. If you are reading this before then, please come along (it’s free and online)- details are here.
