(and i can't stress this enough) in my mouth: Extradiegetic Affect as Material
Summary
This thesis proposes the concept of "extradiegetic affect" in cinema as a post-cinematic condition, drawing an analogy between cinema's nearly invisible ubiquity and the environmental circulation of microplastics to illustrate cinema's materiality.
(and i can’t stress this enough) in my mouth: Extradiegetic Affect as Material is a non-linear exploration into the structures of feeling that exist in relation to cinema in its role as a technology for generating subjectivity. In the development of this research, a proposal of cinema’s likeness to the ecological circulation of microplastics is drawn in order to illustrate cinema’s materiality and nearly invisible ubiquity. The notion of extradiegetic affect is outlined as a post-cinematic condition in which lived experience becomes secondary to cinematic representation and which, simultaneously, becomes directly shaped by engaging with these representations.
