No One is Talking about the Hivemind: Exploring Postdigital Affect in the Metamodern Moment

Master thesis | Media Studies (MA)
This thesis studies Patricia Lockwood's novel No One Is Talking About This and Maxime Garcia Diaz' poetry collection Het Is Warm In De Hivemind in search of an understanding of the forms of affect that arise in an online/offline dynamic. It brings this affect in conversation with theories of metamodernism and postdigitality. It puts forth a sensibility called the postdigital, metamodern sensibility in which the poles of postmodern irony and cynicism and modern enthusiasm and naivety exist in a fluid dualism with eachother, as opposed to in the oscillation proposed by the metamodern school.
