Notes

American cultural anthropologist, professor emerita at the University of Texas at Austin, known for affect theory and experimental ethnographic writing. Ordinary Affects (2007) attends to the affective, atmospheric textures of everyday life — the way collective moods and sensations circulate as immanent forces — providing the basis for thinking 'affective' imaginaries. Birth year left null: not reliably documented in public sources (B.A. 1979, University of Massachusetts Amherst).
