“…I began my book with Hal Taussig, Rereading the Gospel of Mark Amidst Loss and Trauma with a brief, unadorned reflection about his death and the way it figured in my family. But the reflection was told, somewhat unsurprisingly, in the distant comfort of the third person (Kotrosits and Taussig 2013).28 "We all have ways of protecting ourselves," Carly Daniel-Hughes observed with a kind of warm resignation, "Jenny arms herself with knowledge." We were at the 2015 Westar Institute's Christianity Seminar meeting.…”

“…She was building on (and giving more edge) to readings Hal Taussig and I produced of those texts (Kotrosits and Taussig 2013;Taussig, Calaway, Kotrosits, Lillie, and Lasser 2010), and was providing a refined historical reorientation to them that includes the ways these texts might bespeak and produce certain traumatized publics and counter-publics, as well as the ways they "make a particular sphere of affective life visible to history" (Waller 2014: 471).35…”

“…I first came to this essay because Brock Perry, a theology doctoral student at Drew Theological School, suggested that my book on the Gospel of Mark (Kotrosits and Taussig 2013) was an example of this close but not deep reading.

This essay is an intellectual history, one of affect theory both within and without biblical studies, rendered as an ecology of thought. It is an "archive of feelings," a series of thematic portraits, and a description of the landscape of the field of biblical studies through a set of frictions and express discontentments with its legacies, as well as a set of meaningful encounters under its auspices. That landscape is recounted with a fully experiential map, intentionally relativizing those more dominant sources and traditional modes of doing intellectual history. Affect theory and biblical studies, it turns out, both might be described as implicitly, and ambivalently, theological. But biblical studies has not only typically refused explicit theologizing, it has also refused explicit affectivity, and so affect theory presents biblical studies with both its own losses and new and vital possibilities.
