“[My original] theory of affect as amplification was flawed by [one] serious ambiguity. I had unwittingly assumed that in both electronic amplification and affective amplification there was an increase in gain of the signal. If that were the case, what… — Sianne Ngai Copy Share Image
“Affective amplification does not simply turn up the volume on what is already there, but points to the presence of something “separate.” Tomkins places a particular emphasis on this difference-throughamplification when discussing magnification. As he notes, “Scenes are magnified not… — Sianne Ngai Copy Share Image
