On Implicatedness as a Political Feeling
What Has Happened to the Left Revolutionary Project
This interview documents an email exchange between Susan Buck-Morss, Jonathan Flatley, and Helen Petrovsky on the occasion of the publication of Buck-Morss's Revolution Today
Reading for Mood
Beginning with a consideration of the distinct places of affect in aesthetic theory and in critical reading practices, this essay makes a case for mood as a critical concept that helps us to read for the historicity and potentially political effects of aesthetic practices

This essay examines Andy Warhol’s Ladies and Gentlemen (1975) series of paintings, prints, collages, and drawings of African American and Latino drag queens. It compares Warhol’s representation of this group of drag queens, most of whom were also prostitutes who frequented the Gilded Grape bar, with the work of the activist group the Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries (STAR), cofounded by one of the drag queens Warhol painted, Marsha P. J…
How A Revolutionary Counter-Mood Is Made
This essay proposes that affect theory, and in particular the concept of mood in the sense of Martin Heidegger's Stimmung , is essential for understanding the formation of politically active collectives.

I argue that one way to bring such counter-moods into being…

Affective Mapping
Flatley argues that embracing melancholy can be a road back to contact with others and can lead people to an invigorated relationship with the world around them. He demonstrates that a seemingly disparate set of modernist writers and thinkers showed how aesthetic activity can give us the means to comprehend and change our relation to loss.
Affective mapping
"The surprising claim of this book is that dwelling on loss is not necessarily depressing. Instead, Jonathan Flatley argues, embracing melancholy can be a road back to contact with others and can lead people to productively remap their relationship to the world around them.
