panel seeks to explore the entanglements that bind and the fissures that
separate affect and discourse. For many proponents of the affective turn in the
social sciences and humanities, affect is an ‘extra-discursive’ (i.e. beyond
discourse) phenomenon or instance of intense <i>feeling </i>(e.g. Massumi
2002). In conceptualizing affect as a pre-discursive phenomenon, scholars can
examine social realities through a non-representational framework. That is,
rather than focusing on how objects and phenomena are represented, the focus
becomes the objects and phenomena themselves. Opponents of this view, however,
contend that affect and discourse are not easily (or productively) unentangled.
For example, Wetherell (2013), synthesizing empirically driven psychological
research and research in the humanities, argues that affective practice is
better understood as a continuum of meaning-making and that incorporating a
discourse analytic framework more effectively produces rich analyses of social
life. This panel seeks to contribute to this debate by addressing the role of
discourse (if any) in affect studies and the application of affect theory to
the understanding of meaning-making. </span></p>
