Emocions proscrites: escriptura, gènere, afectes i algunes veus de la poesia catalana contemporània

Abstract

[eng] Drawing on the intersection between affect theories and feminist studies, this article addresses the transmutation of conventional patterns of affective expression in some contemporary Catalan women poets. The paper builds on the notions of outlaw emotion (Jaggar) and ugly feeling (Ngai) and combines them with the contributions of other scholars (Ahmed, Illuz, Langle de Paz...) to draw a new interpretative map. Against the historical consideration of emotions as an impediment to the achievement of reliable knowledge, the inversion of traditional manifestations of affect ¿via the problematization of feelings such as romantic love or the transposition of the sentimental sphere into the public space¿ can be understood as one of the singular elements of the new poetry and, at the same time, as a new way of addressing it.
