This volume advances a comprehensive transdisciplinary approach to
the affective lives of institutions - theoretical, conceptual,
empirical, and critical. With this approach, the volume foregrounds
the role of affect in sustaining as well as transforming
institutional arrangements that are deeply problematic. As part of
its analysis, this book develops a novel understanding of
institutional affect. It explores how institutions produce, frame,
and condition affective dynamics and emotional repertoires, in ways
that engender conformance or resistance to institutional
requirements. This collection of works will be important for
scholars and students of interdisciplinary affect and emotion
studies from a wide range of disciplines, including social
sciences, cultural studies, social and cultural anthropology,
organizational and institution studies, media studies, social
philosophy, aesthetics, and critical theory.

Decades of research on affect and emotion have brought out the
paramount importance of affective processes for human lives. Affect
in Relation brings together perspectives from social science and
cultural studies to analyze the formative, subject constituting
potentials of affect and emotion. Relational affect is understood
not as individual mental states, but as social-relational processes
that are both formative and transformative of human subjects. This
volume explores relational affect through a combination of
interdisciplinary case studies within four key contexts: Part I:
"Affective Families" deals with the affective dynamics in
transnational families who are scattered across several regions and
nations. Part II: "Affect and Place" brings together work on
affective place-making in the contexts of migration and in
political movements. Part III: "Affect at Work" analyzes the
affective dimension of contemporary white-collar workplaces. Part
IV: "Affect and Media" focuses on the role of media in the
formation and mobilization of relational affect. In its
transdisciplinary spirit, analytical rigor and focus on timely and
salient global matters, Affect in Relation consolidates the field
of affect studies and opens up new avenues for scholarly and
practical co-operation. It will appeal to both students and
postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as anthropology,
sociology, cultural studies, media studies and human development.
Affect and emotion have come to dominate discourse on social and
political life in the mobile and networked societies of the early
21st century. This volume introduces a unique collection of
essential concepts for theorizing and empirically investigating
societies as Affective Societies. The concepts promote insights
into the affective foundations of social coexistence and are
indispensable to comprehend the many areas of conflict linked to
emotion such as migration, political populism, or local and global
inequalities. Adhering to an instructive narrative, Affective
Societies provides historical orientation; detailed explication of
the concept in question, clear-cut research examples, and an
outlook at the end of each chapter. Presenting interdisciplinary
research from scholars within the Collaborative Research Center
"Affective Societies," this insightful monograph will appeal to
students and researchers interested in fields such as affect and
emotion, anthropology, cultural studies, and media studies.

Critical Neuroscience: A Handbook of the Social and Cultural
Contexts of Neuroscience brings together multi-disciplinary
scholars from around the world to explore key social, historical
and philosophical studies of neuroscience, and to analyze the
socio-cultural implications of recent advances in the field. This
text s original, interdisciplinary approach explores the creative
potential for engaging experimental neuroscience with social
studies of neuroscience while furthering the dialogue between
neuroscience and the disciplines of the social sciences and
humanities. Critical Neuroscience transcends traditional
skepticism, introducing novel ideas about how to be critical in and
about science.
