With the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States on November 8, 2016, the intimate public of the American left found itself in a position of 'situation tragedy', as defined by scholar Lauren Berlant. This thesis follows the visual activation of the American left's progressive fantasy that emerged from the site of the impasse. While offering a reading of the role artists have played in such activation, a practice of 'traversing the fantasy' is identified while examining the affective artistic styles that categorize the artworks emerging from the progressive intimate public. These affective artistic styles are categorized as satire, hope, and crisis. Each style interacts with the site of the impasse while acknowledging limitations of the pre-existing order: the limitations of satirical critique, the limitations of a constituted power to realize potential, and the limitations of the 'symbolic order' to effectively handle a crisis. While satire and hope assert fantasy and a privileged position of desiring, the expository images of crisis assert demand. This thesis claims that visual affective images provide an opportunity for the continual emergence and activation of alternative forms of being and organizing in the world, while holding out the possibility of change for the present and future.
