Abstract
Abstract:
"Aesthetic Affairs" turns to three contemporary works of art—a short story, a graphic memoir, and a film—to consider how they invoke the conventions of human relationship and the paradigm of desire to highlight the inarticulable and seemingly inappropriate feelings solicited by art objects, architectural space, and design. Bringing together theories of architectural space, materiality, and desire with imaginative texts that both utilize and disrupt linguistic referentiality, this essay interrogates the illusion of detachment that governs an ocularcentric approach to art and the rational language that often accompanies it.
期刊介绍：
New Literary History focuses on questions of theory, method, interpretation, and literary history. Rather than espousing a single ideology or intellectual framework, it canvasses a wide range of scholarly concerns. By examining the bases of criticism, the journal provokes debate on the relations between literary and cultural texts and present needs. A major international forum for scholarly exchange, New Literary History has received six awards from the Council of Editors of Learned Journals.
