“…Thus far, notably few literary scholars have drawn on this line of affect theory specifically to read literary or filmic texts. (Exceptions to this general trend include Libin, 2020;Milne, 2018;and Smith, 2015. Literary scholars whose work in this area has been foundational are few in number but influential; see especially Berlant, 2011;Love, 2007;Ngai, 2005).…”

It's quite powerful and it's quite frightening to think of the Anthropocene in this way -almost like scar tissue, that this is occurring. The speed at which these changes are happening is accelerating. And we do get to these points of the unknown. (Karen McCarthy Woolf and Yvonne Reddick, 'Seasonal Disturbances,' p. 6).Is this some community we rhizome into fragile connection to a place? Or a total we involved in the activity of the planet? (Edouard Glissant, p. 206.
