| contents | <p>ABSTRACT: From the late 1980s to the late 2010s, a discourse of affect <br>was advanced by various architectural theorists who aimed to account <br>for the relationship between human beings and their environment and <br>how things in the world appear to them as phenomena, in ways that were <br>more scientifically advanced and politically progressive than similar ac<br>counts that had previously been offered by post-structuralism and phe<br>nomenology. A particular group of theorists informed by psychology <br>and the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze—including Sylvia Lavin and Jeff <br>Kipnis—argued that it was crucial to focus on the experience of build<br>ings, the sensual effects of their surfaces, the moods that they created, <br>and the seductive power of such things as color, light, and atmosphere, <br>without addressing meaning, language, and culture and without essen<br>tializing the body and its relationship to the environment. Furthermore, <br>following the lead of affect theorist Brian Massumi, these architectural <br>theorists often linked these arguments to what they claimed would be a <br>more progressive political position. This paper historicizes the discourse <br>of affect in architecture, analyzes the claims made by affect theorists both <br>in architecture and in general and offers a critical evaluation of its vari<br>ous theoretical and political claims, by drawing upon the mounting ev<br>idence about the problematic nature of the original psychological and <br>neuroscientific studies that inspired affect theory in the first place, and <br>upon the mounting critical literature on affect theory that has begun to <br>emerge in recent years.<br>KEYWORDS: Affect, Phenomenology, Appearances, Surfaces, Moods</p> |
