In Gestures of Concern Chris Ingraham shows that while gestures
such as sending a "Get Well" card may not be instrumentally
effective, they do exert an intrinsically affective force on a
field of social relations. From liking, sharing, posting, or
swiping to watching a TED Talk or wearing an "I Voted" sticker,
such gestures operate as much through affective registers as they
do through overt symbolic action. Ingraham demonstrates that
gestures of concern are central to establishing the necessary
conditions for larger social or political change because they give
the everyday aesthetic and rhetorical practices of public life the
capacity to attain some socially legible momentum. Rather than
supporting the notion that vociferous public communication is the
best means for political and social change, Ingraham advances the
idea that concerned gestures can help to build the affective
communities that orient us to one another with an imaginable future
in mind. Ultimately, he shows how acts that many may consider
trivial or banal are integral to establishing those background
conditions capable of fostering more inclusive social or political
change.
