[Linganth] AAA'17 CFP "Emotion, register, and politics"

[Janina Fenigsen]

There is one space available on "Emotion, register, and politics" panel,
see a brief description below. If interested, please get in touch with
Janina Fenigsen, jfenigsen at gmail.com.

Emotion has been an increasingly salient, explicit, and normalized resource
in political discourse and oratory. Papers in this panel examine semiotic
activities and processes that regiment and enregister emotion as a visceral
dimension of the political that operates on different scales of
“sociohistorical practices involving registers” (Agha 2005: 38). In
attending to shifts and emergence of political registers of emotion across
contexts that include Philippines, Indonesia, India, and Venezuela, the
papers highlight the processual aspects of these registers.
