Affective Spaces

About

The escalating regional and global conflicts present an opportunity to reconsider the cultural politics of emotions. Despite the multitude of emotions prevalent in the social fabric of our everyday life, their significance remains inadequately comprehended.

The purpose of this website is to showcase the most recent advancements in our interdisciplinary research and activities. We seek to understand how affect and emotion shape the dynamic landscape of contemporary cultural politics. We investigate why and how affect and emotion matter to media, culture, and society.

Our interdisciplinary research encompasses various topics, including social media platforms, digital labor, gender, nationalism, philosophical discourse, literature, youth culture, art, digital games, stardom, activism, body, China and East Asian identity. We contend that understanding the meaning of the contemporary world necessitates an appreciation of cultural feelings and emotional experiences.

不断升级的地区和全球冲突为重新考虑情感的文化政治提供了机会。尽管在我们日常生活的社会结构中普遍存在着多种情绪,但对其意义的理解仍然不足。

本网站旨在展示我们跨学科研究和活动的最新进展。我们试图了解情感和情绪如何塑造当代文化政治的动态景观。我们研究情感和情绪为何以及如何对媒体、文化和社会产生影响。

我们的跨学科研究涵盖各种主题,包括社交媒体平台、数字劳动、性别、民族主义、哲学论述、文学、青年文化、艺术、数字游戏、明星、激进主义、身体、中国和东亚身份。我们认为,要理解当代世界的意义,就必须对文化感受和情感体验有所领悟。
