초록
In this essay I examine the affective terrain of London as reshaped by Spy’s visceral responses to multi-sensorial stimulations within the City. To that end, I investigate a range of emotions of the eighteenth-century urban traveler: boredom, excitement, and disgust. To be sure, these feelings are not developed in a linear or schematic manner. Some emotions are provoked almost simultaneously and coalesce into one another. More central to this essay is that the anonymous protagonist registers multifarious confluence of human and nonhuman bodies as he traverses post-1667 London, an urban space teeming with modern structures. It should also be noted that the anonymous human body is reduced to a thing-like status. In identifying and historicizing the discrete emotions, my ultimate goal is to contend that Spy’s corporeal encounters with thing-like beings that at times pose a threat to his sense of security are profoundly evocative and engender a more or less porous structure of a built environment.
