So this semester I took an MA/PhD course on rhetoric, affect, and emotion, and I decided to write my seminar paper about figure skating, given the importance that affect and emotion seem to have upon how judges and fans evaluate performances within the sport. I used a combination of articles about competitions, theory, and my analysis of performances themselves (in which I have tried to be as unbiased as possible) to argue that affect and emotion have a great impact upon how we view figure skating performances. I've mentioned this paper in other topics, and I'm creating a topic here in the event that other posters would like to read my paper. If you send me a PM about it, I will happily share a link to my paper with you. I would also appreciate response/feedback to my paper in this thread.
