Geographies of Affect in Contemporary Literature and Visual Culture
opens a dialogue between the literary and filmic works produced in
Central Europe and in the Anglophone world. It relies on the
concept of translocality to explore this corpus, offering new
readings of contemporary Hungarian films as well as urban fiction
and poetry in English. Calling attention to the role of affect in
imagining city space, the volume investigates Gyoergy Palfi's
Taxidermia, Bela Tarr's Family Nest, Teju Cole's Open City, Toni
Morrison's Jazz, China Mieville's Un Lun Dun, Chimamanda Adichie's
Americanah, and Patrick Neate's City of Tiny Lights, among many
other urban narratives. Contributors examine both widely explored
emotions and under-researched affects, such as shame, fascination,
and the role of withdrawal in contemporary literature and culture.
Contributors: Tamas Benyei, Imola Bulgoezdi, Fanni Feldmann, Zsolt
Gyori, Agnes Gyoerke, Brigitta Hudacsko, Gyoergy Kalmar, Anna
Kerchy, Marta Koroesi, Jennifer Leetsch, Katalin Palinkas, Miklos
Takacs, Pieter Vermeulen.
