This book presents new empirical studies of social difference in
the Nordic welfare states, in order to advance novel theoretical
perspectives on the everyday practices and macro-politics of race
and gender in multi-ethnic societies. With attention to the
specific political and cultural landscapes of the Nordic countries,
Affectivity and Race draws on a variety of sources, including
television programmes, news media, fictional literature,
interviews, ethnographic observations, teaching curricula and
policy documents, to explore the ways in which ideas about
affectivity and emotion afford new insights into the experience of
racial difference and the unfolding of political discourses on race
in various social spheres. Organised around the themes of the
politicisation of race through affect, the way that race produces
affect and the affective experience of race, this interdisciplinary
collection sheds light on the role of feelings in the formation of
subjectivities, how race and whiteness are affectively circulated
in public life and the ways in which emotions contribute to regimes
of inclusion and exclusion. As such it will appeal to scholars
across the social sciences, with interests in sociology,
anthropology, media, literary and cultural studies, race and
ethnicity, and Nordic studies.
