Deluge of Affects: Critical Encounters in The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open
This article examines Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers and Kathleen Hepburn’s film The Body Remembers When the World Broke Open (2019) through the lens of materialist and feminist affect theories as they intersect with critical Indigeneity. It investigates how the film produces two parallel and conflicting reactions in the viewer, for whom “ugly feelings” (Ngai, 2007), such as failure, embarrassment, pity or shame, compete with an overwhelming and often f…
Emergency contact: Compassion and precarious love in Michael Christie’s The Beggar’s Garden
This article examines the relation between affect and agency in Michael Christie’s short story collection The Beggar’s Garden (2011).

Many contemporary thinkers have emphasized the fundamental paradox that affective relations are as necessary as they are profoundly destabilizing of the subject’s supposed autonomy. Following this train…

If that is so, it is crucial to emphasize the role of postcolonial l…
The Softness of Theory: A T(r)opological Reading of Lisa Robertson's Soft Architecture
This essay examines, from two different perspectives, the relationship between material and metaphoric modes of representing urban experience in Lisa Robertson's Occasional Work, first exploring the process by which the discourse of theory is supplemented by an embodied practice; and, second, probing and testing the radical potential of this combinatory choice. This is not Descartes locked in his room. This is philosophy in motion and art in prac…
