Affect is a philosophical concept used by Baruch Spinoza, Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.

Affects, according to Deleuze, are not simple emotions, since they are independent from their subject. Artists create affects and percepts ("blocks of space-time"), he argues, whereas science works with functions and philosophy creates concepts.

Look at the discussion of Bergson and affect in "The Affection-image" in Cinema 1
