Affect and Emotion

Abstract

The recent attention to affect and emotion promises a cultural geography attentive to the dynamics of how life is lived and how a life takes place. This chapter briefly summarizes what work on affect and emotion holds in common: a break with a “regulative idea” of culture based on signification. Touching on the difference different theories of affect and emotion make, the author argues that a key issue is how to understand the way affective/emotive relations are organized. The chapter then considers the multiple ways of being political in relation to affect and emotion that are currently being experimented with in cultural geography. The author draws out how these ways of being political have different connections with the cultural politics that follow the cultural turn. In the final section of the chapter, the author speculates on a series of future issues for work on affect and emotion.
