Ugly Feelings | Sianne NGAI

1 post | 1 read | 2 to read

Ngai mobilizes the aesthetics of unprestigious negative affects such as irritation, envy, and disgust to investigate not only ideological and representational dilemmas in literature--with a particular focus on those inflected by gender and race--but also blind spots in contemporary literary and cultural criticism. Her work maps a major intersection of literary studies, media and cultural studies, feminist studies, and aesthetic theory.

Ugly Feelings | Sianne NGAI

On people that write in library books: maybe fucking don't.

Switching from rhetorical theory to literary criticism has my brain doing flips. I can appreciate the idea of meta responses here though (e.g. feeling guilty about feeling jealous).
