In American culture and history, a feeling of national identity and
belonging have often derived from a sense of injury, vulnerability,
and loss. Sympathy and aggression operate as twinned affects in
such contexts, with representations of an assaulted national body
animating identification with nationalist violence and its agents.
In Imperial Affects, Jonna Eagle turns to the workings of American
cinema to understand the power and persistence of these
conjunctions, tracing the shifting dynamics of action and pathos as
they structure representations of imperialist motion and violence
across the twentieth century.
