Yes. Materialist scholarship in the retrieved literature conceptualizes affect as an embodied, physical process grounded in material relations and bodily experiences.

The analysis
The claim states that materialism understands affect as a physical and bodily process. Papers [3] and [8] explicitly adopt new materialist or neomaterialist frameworks that analyze affect through bodily, somatic, and material practices. The remaining papers do not directly contradict this perspective, making SUPPORTED the appropriate verdict.
Evidence for · 2
The paper uses a new materialist framework to examine affect as something acting directly upon bodies and material relations within everyday events.
