Dear Anthropology Matters Subscribes,
It is my pleasure to announce the publication of *Affective States:
Entanglements, Suspensions, Suspicions*, co-edited by Madeleine Reeves and
myself. The book has just come out with Berghahn Books and is available in
hard cover as well as a paperback:
http://www.berghahnbooks.com/title/LaszczkowskiAffective
In recent years, political and social theory has been transformed by the
heterogeneous approaches to feeling and emotion jointly referred to as
‘affect theory’. These range from psychological and social-constructivist
approaches to emotion to feminist and post-human perspectives. Covering a
wide spectrum of topics and ethnographic contexts—from engineering in the
Andes to household rituals in rural China, from South African land
restitution to migrant living in Moscow, and from elections in El Salvador
to online and offline surveillance among political refugees from Uzbekistan
and Eritrea—the chapters in this volume interrogate this ‘affective turn’
through the lens of fine-grained ethnographies of the state. Also featuring
a a critical theoretical Introduction, the volume enhances the
anthropological understanding of the various ways through which the state
comes to be experienced as a visceral presence in social life.
