#affect
Hello Fediverse! Feels good to be back! With this account I hope to make my small contributions in #romance #horrorliterature research and the #discourse around #horror, #fear, the #uncanny and #affect in general, but also to share some thoughts on the current political and philosophical discourse concerning #affecttheory #psychoanalysis #existentialism and #cosmotechnics
Writing primarily in ENG and GER but also in RU, IT, PT, ESP and maybe even FR!
6.6: Emotional Literacy with Dr Tiffany Millacci
In this week’s episode, Ariel quizzes guest Dr Tiffany Millacci about emotional literacy. What is this relatively new phrase? How can being emotionally literate help us to navigate difficult conversations, awkward interactions, or even generally just having relationships in the first place? Isn’t all this talk of emotions just a different way for the self-help industry to get us to buy stuff?
Join us for a fascinating conversation about a complex topic - we barely skim the surface! But never fear, Dr Millacci has your back; listen in for some good places to start learning more.

Disclaimer: We’re coming from a white, western viewpoint and we recognize the limitations and strictures of that - even within the same cultures and societies (heck, within the same families) emotional expression can vary wildly according to personality, gender, neurodivergence, whatever your social location. This interview necessarily takes broad strokes to begin a conversation about how to better be in community with each other, and it is our hope that we can continue to showcase how this can vary, taking steps towards a solarpunk future where people can disagree - even on important topics like politics and religion - without violence or relationship rupture.

While Goffman often made it appear as though the self was nothing w/o the situation, we show that in places Goffman wasnt interested in the positive attributes of self, but rather where things he took for granted as "normal" attributes of the self were stripped from them, forcibly or through cultural beliefs, we can see the outlines of an affectually motivated self.

New work on morality, affect, and reputation as the core of the social self. Goffman makes a big appearance!

what do y'all think?:
"from the beginning of the industrial age, we have taken the whole of humanity on a big journey away from 'the natural world'... in pursuit of progress. ...in pursuit of our rational superiority to the world, and animals, and things like that.
we're beginning to review that now, and we're beginning to see the costs of that.
[...]
the whole of humanity has been busy putting up a sort of false self [of rationality] over what i call "the inner indigenous" - that "natural" self that's got a lot of spontanaeity, emotions. it's raw and sexual and things like that... we've been coating that with rationality and with progress.
the british system of boarding school is a perfect element at developing that kind of estranged self, which functions terribly well in other institutions - like in politics, in the army, in church, in business, in building empire. and of course that was the original motivation [behind developing the schools] - to develop administrators of the british empire.
but take it out of that environment and into the one where the natural self is more apparent - in the family - and it functions very badly, in general. so the breakdown of that self is liable to be in the family.
and [recovering] is not just an internal sort of psycho-spiritual adventure, it also means you have to come home to relationship, to being a social being, to being a family being, to being a body... and in that journey, that's where the true wisdom is to be had. you can take your refined mental appartus and use that to help you on that journey...and that's great." - nick duffell

i think this is a very interesting line of reasoning!
i disagree with his contention that "the whole of humanity" is doing this, but that's another thing you'll find in mainstream western culture - a universalizing drive that takes characteristics of western culture & society, and treats them as if they apply to all people everywhere. he's a brit, i forgive him this error.
i don't know about "inner indigenous"...but i get what he's saying about a more "animal" self that gets turned into a "civilization-brain" self through an institutional education process.
the civilization-brain self does well in institutions (and so you see it rise to the top of things like international negotiations on climate change), but it has little connection to the "living" or "animal" self - which is what the fight over climate change is all about! like, valuing the actual living world! not some abstract version of it, but the actual land and people and animals!
i like his analysis because it ties together separation from self, separation from nature, separation from other people (emotionally), and empire, boarding schools, institutions of all kinds, industrialization (historically), and the global ecological catastrophe we're all a part of.
and i like that he recommends that people (especially gentlemen, who are more likely to have been disciplined out of their "animal" selves, imo) reconnect with other people and go on their own "psycho-spiritual" journey to discover whether that "civilization-brain self" is really all there is to life.
and i agree that if one hasn't reconnected to their own animal self, and hasn't reconnected with actual people and the actual land, it's going to be very hard to get in "good relation" to the planet (and solve the exploitation of nature that is like, at the root of climate change. if people lived in balance with the land (ie, in 'right relation'), we wouldn't have biodiversity loss, we wouldn't have climate change...because you'd be valuing the land and bringing it back to life, instead of exploiting it.
The Routledge Companion to Gender and Affect
It is the most comprehensive volume to date, engaging with the intersections between gender and affect studies. A global and interdisciplinary range of contributors articulate the connections (and disconnections) between gender, sexuality, and affect in a range of geographical and historical contexts.
In my latest article for Unsustainable Magazine, I unapologetically brought my #academic research on #affect to bear on our current #ClimateEmergency. I hope it contributes to the discussion of how we react to the #climate #apocalypse in a good way.

Very proud of Sameer Alladin, who just published the first preprint of his PhD! It's on proto-#nausea: that slightly funny feeling you get in your #stomach when you experience #disgust!
If you're interested in #Affect, #Emotion, #Interoception, and/or the #gutbrainaxis, you might enjoy it.

Hey, affective sociology: If someone is to be persuaded of sth. as a problem or a solution, s/he has to be affected („affiziert“). If you agreed, what literature would you recommend?

‘Emotion detection is a myth!
‘Body-language experts are scam artists!
‘And the only way to tell what somebody is feeling is to ask them’

And some great terms for Autistic emotional concepts: I love ‘frabbish’, ‘stim-blocked’, ‘over-peopled’, ‘frizzly’, ‘sparkle-brained’, ‘rearing’, ‘complatigue’, ‘sweaklish’
