Meeting Description:

This colloquium 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
feeling (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.


Call for Papers:

Seeking abstracts that address the convergences and divergences between affect
theory and discourse analysis. Please submit your abstracts to Seran Gee (York
University) at sgee at yorku.ca. 

Abstracts should be no more than 350 words (including references) and titles
should be no more than 20 words. 

Deadline for submissions is August 10, 2017.
