The Politics of Affective Societies
Many claim that political deliberation has become exceedingly affective, and hence, destabilizing. The authors of this book revisit that assumption. While recognizing that significant changes are occurring, these authors also point out the limitations of turning to contemporary democratic theory to understand and unpack these shifts. They propose, instead, to reframe this debate by deploying the analytic framework of affective societies, which highlights how affect and emotion are present in all aspects of the social. What changes over time and place are the modes and calibrations of affective and emotional registers. With this line of thinking, the authors are able to gesture towards a new outline of the political.
The Sentimental Court
Analyses how atmospheres and sentiments shape the workings of international criminal law in (post-)colonial Africa and beyond.
The Indigenous Paradox
An investigation into how indigenous rights are conceived in legal language and doctrine In the twenty-first century, it is politically and legally commonplace that indigenous communities go to court to assert their rights against the postcolonial nation-state in which they reside. But upon closer examination, this constellation is far from straightforward. Indigenous communities make their claims as independent entities, governed by their own laws. And yet, they bring a case before the court of another sovereign, subjecting themselves to its foreign rule of law. According to Jonas Bens, when native communities enter into legal relationships with postcolonial nation-states, they "become indi...
Homo Emotionalis
In this book, important works and approaches of policy-oriented emotion research are brought into a systematic context. For this purpose, three different types of emotions are elaborated, which in their totality constitute Homo Emotionalis: binary emotions, basic emotions, reflexive emotions. They correspond to individual-psychological stages of development, but are also relevant in the social and political handling of emotions. The interplay of emotion types and social constellations leads to different modes of political action, which shape different forms of emotional politics. In each case, individual logics emerge along which emotional politics is pursued. With its interdisciplinary focus, this volume is aimed at political scientists, anthropologists, sociologists and social psychologists.

National and Transnational Memories of the Kindertransport
The first transnational study of the memory of the Kindertransport and the first to explore how it is represented in museums, memorials, and commemorations.The Kindertransport, the rescue of ca. 10,000 Jewish children from the Nazi sphere of control and influence before the Second World War, has often been framed as a "British story." This book recognizes that even though most of the "Kinder" were initially brought to the UK and many stayed, it was more than that. It therefore compares British memory of the Kindertransport to that of other host nations (the US, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand). It is the first book to ask how the Kindertransport is remembered both in the countries of orig...
The Pentecostal Gender Paradox
The distinct subjects of eschatology and gender equality have seen an explosion of interest in recent decades, particularly within Pentecostal scholarship. Pentecostalism is regarded ideally as both an eschatological and egalitarian movement. However, many Pentecostals have lamented the inconsistency between the early egalitarian impulse of the movement and its current restrictive practices. This situation has been described as the so-called Pentecostal gender paradox, referring to the conflicting freedoms and limitations experienced by Pentecostal women. Pentecostals have also recognized the waning eschatological fervor within the movement and its shifting eschatological convictions, le...
Public Spheres of Resonance
To understand the profound changes in the modes of public political debate over the past decade, this volume develops a new conception of public spheres as spaces of resonance emerging from the power of language to affect and to ascribe and instill collective emotion. Political discourse is no longer confined to traditional media, but increasingly takes place in fragmented and digital public spheres. At the same time, the modes of political engagement have changed: discourse is said to increasingly rely on strategies of emotionalization and to be deeply affective at its core. This book meticulously shows how public spheres are rooted in the emotional, bodily, and affective dimensions of lang...
Arbeiten zwischen Medien und Künsten
Die aktuellen gesellschaftlichen Debatten um Fragen der Teilhabe von Frauen im Kultur- und Medienbetrieb sind nicht so neu, wie sie angesichts ihrer Dringlichkeit bisweilen erscheinen mögen. Das Arbeiten von Frauen wurde schon in der ersten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts kontrovers diskutiert, denn hier traten Frauen in neuartige Beschäftigungsfelder im Bereich der Medien und Künste ein. Der Sammelband unternimmt eine Spurensuche nach Akteur*innen innerhalb der deutschsprachigen Medien- und Kulturlandschaft dieser Zeit: Unter dem Stichwort ,Arbeiten' beleuchtet er einerseits Kunstwerke, Medienerzeugnisse und technische Fertigkeiten, andererseits die institutionellen und gesellschaftlichen R...
Recherche und Erkundung
Die deutschsprachigen Theaterbühnen setzen sich seit den 2010er Jahren verstärkt mit Fragen sozialer Anerkennung und dem strukturellen Komplex um rassistische Diskriminierung auseinander. Wer darf auf der Bühne agieren? Mit welchen ästhetischen Mitteln können soziale, kulturelle und ethnische Marginalisierungen im Theater sicht- und erfahrbar gemacht werden, ohne gesellschaftliche Machtverhältnisse einfach zu reproduzieren? Und wo verlaufen etwaige Grenzen der Darstellung? Das Buch untersucht dokumentarische Theaterarbeiten, die in der Form einer Erkundung des Stadtraums oder als fiktionalisierte Recherche-Stücke Konstellationen sozialer Marginalität verhandeln. Als Ausgangspunkt die...
