Some objects stand out as personal and important to us. A packed
suitcase, an inherited vase, the remains from a humanitarian aid
package - things can induce affects. In this book the authors focus
on material culture and on practice - on what affect does. Some of
them place the issue of sensitivity in a wider from of professional
interest in innovation and culture-tourism. The volume is a
contribution to the upcoming field of affect research that has so
far has been mainly explored psychology and cultural studies. In
their texts the ethnologists and anthropologists involved show how
established ways of analysing culture benefit from achievements in
this field. They use fieldwork to examine how people project
affects onto material objects and explore how objects trigger
affects. The editors hope that this book will be read across
disciplines, not only to promote the value of ethnographic work,
but also to encourage theoretically informed creative empirical
approaches to affect and material culture.
