The affective turn and the visual turn: an indisciplined encounter

Main Article Content

Mariela Solana

Abstract

The book compiled by Irene Depetris Chauvin and Natalia Taccetta is situated at the intersection between the emotional turn and visual studies in order to reflect on the way images allow us to come into contact with the past. In the opening statements, written by the two compilers, they explain why they chose to place themselves between these two theoretical frameworks. The affective turn, according to Depetris Chauvin and Taccetta's account, arises from a general dissatisfaction with the linguistic turn and the deconstructionist perspective.
