Between Flowing and Action:Writing Short Essays with Affects
Starting from Deleuze's theory of affect and philosophy of life,this paper considers"short essays"as a lens to examine fans'life experiences.By analyzing the short essays written by fans in their daily lives and their writing practices,it unveils the emotional fluctuations and affective memories of fans that are invisible from a research perspective.Based on this exploration,the paper attempts to propose an alternative perspective for understanding fan subjectivity.The study reveals that short essays serve not only as a dynamic means for fans to repair their emotional selves through active writing but also act as a"tree hole,"empowering the subject to generate self-strength in the process of writing emotions.Fans,as individuals,not only satisfy their primal desires as"human"in the"viewing affect"narrated in short essays by indulging in the desire to gaze at the idol's body but also exhibit life impulses as"human"in the writing intervals before the creation of short essays,smoothly switching between"fan identity"and"social identity."By depicting fans as fluid,diverse,and authentic"humans,"this study situates fan subjectivity at the intersection of fan identity and other identities.It places fan subjectivity amidst the tension of dissolving,overlapping,conflicting,and switching multiple identities,presenting a diverse,fluid,and authentic portrayal of"human."
