Cheyne writes that genre fiction is primarily affective, building off of the same theories employed by Berlant. By their estimation, genre fiction (science fiction, horror, fantasy, etc.) functions with the assumption that the reader will experience specific emotions or reactions as embodiments of those emotions with narrative or thematic adjustments that are negligible in the ultimate face of the emotive experience itself. Similarly, Warhol said that overly evocative contemporary media, such as soap operas, are technologies of affect. For this reason, disability might commonly be employed for the ease with which it evokes an emotional response.
