It has carried me through many of life\u2019s adventures. It\u2019s an expanding \u2018satchel\u2019 where I collect memories and store my lived experiences. It\u2019s my safe space and shelter. All the adventures I have had up to now have shaped me into who I am today. My body is more valuable than any object I will ever own.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The concept of affect was tough to understand and required a lot of research. I came across many academic papers discussing the anthropological and evolutionary impact of material objects on humans, especially on our cognitive development. Still, I couldn\u2019t find research that addressed the affective dimension of things. I wanted to use affect theory as the key proponent for supporting my hypothesis &#8211; <em>\u2018That Clothes Know Dark Secrets\u2019<\/em>&#8211; and that our wardrobes are imbued with a negative aura from the industrial fashion process. Furthermore, I wanted to specifically use affect to connect us to the disembodied fashion system \u2013 the bodies and entities that have been hidden from us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To make my case, I preceded to do a thorough and broad reading on \u2018affect theory\u2019.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I started with Baruch Spinoza\u2019s (1677)<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/2C849476-204F-4DE3-A963-C36B9600B91E#_ftn1\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a> ruminations on affect being a bodily experience. I made my way through illuminations by Giles Deleuze and Felix Guattari (1991)<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/2C849476-204F-4DE3-A963-C36B9600B91E#_ftn2\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a> , who more explicitly distinguished between affect and emotions. I also read various dense philosophical texts by Brain Masumi (1995-2015)<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/2C849476-204F-4DE3-A963-C36B9600B91E#_ftn3\" name=\"_ftnref3\">[3]<\/a>. He defines affect as \u201cthe capacity to affect and be affected\u201d. The most enjoyable text was the neatly summarised \u2018Affect Theory Reader\u2019 by Gregory Seigworth and Melissa Gregg.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/2C849476-204F-4DE3-A963-C36B9600B91E#_ftn4\" name=\"_ftnref4\">[4]<\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawing inspiration from different authors helped me compose a poem on what affect could be. Understanding affect and how it connects us is the key, I feel, to understanding how potential and vitality are transmitted between garments and bodies. After each stanza, I inserted handwritten musings about how, in my opinion, affect relates to the fashion system.<a href=\"applewebdata:\/\/2C849476-204F-4DE3-A963-C36B9600B91E#_ftnref1\" name=\"_ftn1\"><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ecaffee e-container--column e-container\" data-id=\"ecaffee\" data-element_type=\"container\">\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c9d9038 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"c9d9038\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t<style>\/*!
