Corrosive Solace - Daniel OQuinn

In Corrosive Solace, Daniel Oquinn Argues That The Loss Of The American Colonies Instantiated A Complex Reorganization In Sociability And Politics In The British Metropole That Has Had Long-lasting Effects On British National And Imperial Culture, Which Can Be Seen And Analyzed Within Its Performative Repertoire. He Examines How The Analysis Of Feeling Or Affect Can Be Deployed To Address The Inchoate Causal Relation Between Historical Events And Their Mediation. In This Sense, Corrosive Solace 's Goals Are Twofold: First, To Outline The Methodologies Necessary For Dealing With The Affective Recognition Of Historical Crisis; And Second, To Make The Historically Familiar Strange Again, And Thus Make Visible Key Avenues For Discussion That Have Remained Dormant.
