Still have mixed emotions about Affect Theory AS a thing that crossed literary and psychological spaces AS such. It feels like it's being co-opted to mean too many things and falls in to the same pitfalls that Deleuze and Gauttari often do by taking "as-if" to mean "is".

A good introduction to affect theory, its history, and to its different theoretical tendencies and tracks. Some of the essays are perfect examples of the most vapid, mystifying, and self-congratulatory habits of thinking and writing in cultural studies theory. Other essays are stimulating & thoughtful and suggest that this concept of affect could be useful in the effort to understand aspects of experience.

I didn’t really understand this but I felt like I did lol!
