<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial">This panel explores the enregisterment of emotion
(Irvine,1990), a performative process that establishes emotion as a semiotic
system and-- by textualizing emotion-- makes it recognizable, performable, and
available to register demand (Silverstein, <a></a><a></a><a></a><a>2003</a></span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial">). By “enregisterment” we mean a process </span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial;color:rgb(47,42,43)">“through which a linguistic repertoire becomes
differentiable [and] socially recognized” (Agha, 2003:231). The panel approaches the
category of “emotion” as recently constructed, one whose global reach is a result
of circulation, and building on the broader category of “subjectivity”
(Desjarlais 1994). The focus of the panel is on processual dimensions of
enregisterment--i.e., in the practices through which semiotic systematization
of emotion discourse takes place—and snapshot comparisons of registers of
subjectivity across communities of speech and language, including but not limited to, political discourse. </span><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial"><span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial;color:rgb(47,42,43)"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:9.5pt;font-family:arial;color:rgb(47,42,43)">If interested, please contact Janina Fenigsen (NAU), <a href="mailto:jfenigsen@gmail.com">jfenigsen@gmail.com</a></span></p>
