| dc.description.abstract | Through an analysis of Kate Tempest’s highly innovative play Wasted (Latitude Festival, 2011; published 2013), this chapter examines the relation between affect, aesthetic form and power, focusing on the protagonists’ attempts to resist the neoliberal discourses of resilience and self-development. Drawing on Lauren Berlant’s understanding of the present as a mediated affect and on Sarah Ahmed’s concept of the stickiness of affects, Escoda explores the clash between the positive affects that enable mutual care and increase the protagonists’ power to act on their lives and in the world, and the negative affects of fear, anxiety and dejection that proliferate in their neoliberal capitalist context, and ponders the spectators’ own potential to engage in positive affects of mutual trust and responsibility for others. | |
