The Affects of Realism: Or the Estrangement of the Background
Affect is not just about mood and fantasy; at its best, it is an aesthetic provocation that can generate a profound questioning of the nature of reality. The 19th‐century Realist writers and artists understood this – and its political implications – well. After examining the theme with reference to the writings of an international array of cultural critics, architect Michael Young – cofounder with Kutan Ayata of the New York‐based studio Young & Ayata – presents a project by his firm that is subtly designed to trigger affective sensations of defamiliarisation.
