This book discusses different ways in which the cross-roads between
emotions and resistance can be theorised. While the sociological
field focuses primarily on emotions that are entangled in the
relationship between the individual and collective, the cultural
studies field has recently started to emphasise affects as a
'rescue' from the deterministic aspect of the poststructuralist
approach (in which language decides everything) (Hemmings 2005,
2014). Scholars promoting the 'affective turn' argue that affects
and interpretations are inseparable. By taking affects as the point
of departure, it is argued that it is possible to show how bodies
move in their own ways, but still in relation to others. Departing
from this, it becomes interesting to explore how emotions are
involved in different power relations and how they feed resistance.
If we accept that emotions and interpretations are entangled and
inseparable then we must investigate emotions as powerful forces of
resistance. The chapters were originally published in a special
issue of the Journal of Political Power.
