Exploring Affect with Amber Huff

Affect goes beyond individual emotions and feelings and how they affect individual consciousness. Instead, it’s better thought of as the embodied capacity and potential to affect others and be affected within a social context. This capacity flows between bodies, including people, non-humans, and material entities. Affect plays a crucial role in shaping relationships, socially and between our embodied experiences, social subjectivities, and our recognition of others as singular persons.
