Affective Labour explores four distinct landscapes in order to
demonstrate how collective feelings are organized by social actors
in order to both reproduce and contest hegemony. Utilizing a
variety of methods, including participant observation, in-depth
interviews across field sites, and content analysis of mass media,
Correa and Thomas demonstrate the centrality of affective labor in
enabling and constraining prevailing norms and practices of race,
citizenship, class, gender, and sexuality across multiple spatial
contexts: the U.S.- Mexico border, urban nightlife districts,
American college campuses, and emergent social movements against
the police state. The book demonstrates how the power of affective
labour might be harnessed for progressively oriented world-building
projects, including what the authors term an 'affective labour from
below.' By tying an analysis of affective labour into movements for
social justice, the authors aim to produce a critical theory of the
world that can be practically applied.
