This chapter links affect theory with new materialisms and object-oriented ontology to develop ways to imagine affect closer to, or within the realm of, the object. Working with Lauren Berlant’s concept of an “affective structure” (Cruel Optimism), Sara Ahmed’s idea that “objects are associated with affects before they are even encountered” (The promise of happiness, p. 27), and Jane Bennett’s vibrant materialism, this chapter speculates upon an affect/object structure within two reality television series, Hoarders and Hoarding: Buried Alive. The hoarder’s refusal to discard objects illustrates how affect begins to unravel the subject/object cluster in capitalist attachment. As the object asserts its own affect and dislodges the subject, the hoarder’s fantasy of attachment is passed on to the object. What remains is a form of intimacy at the level of the “thing.”
