journal of the theoretical humanities
Special Issue (5.2)
> SUBALTERN AFFECT <
Subaltern studies has been one of the most influential
of recent theories of postcolonialism and politics,
providing an alternative both to standard hegemonic
discourses and to counter-discourses of identity
politics or multiculturalism, and implying a profound
rethinking of political agency and theoretical
strategy.
This theme issue of _Angelaki_ offers a focus on
"subaltern affect" as a meeting space for postcolonial
criticism, political deconstruction, and postmodern
materialism.
What are the affects that accompany, sustain, or
possibly subvert structures of dominance and
subalternity in specific social formations?
How do we map subaltern affect, the relations of
material force and subaltern agency from rebellion and
betrayal (affects as weapons) to the everyday fears
and ecstasies of subaltern social, political, and
religious experience (affects as a way of being)?
The editors are particularly interested in bringing
together the approach of postcolonial subaltern
studies with some of the "post-linguistic" theoretical
approaches characterized by (for example) Gilles
Deleuze and Felix Guattari, Pierre Bourdieu, and
Toni Negri. However we also very much welcome critiques
of these approaches and invite contributions from a
wide range of perspectives on the relation between
power and affect.
We particularly hope for interdisciplinary
contributions from and between philosophy, area
studies, history, political theory, literature and
anthropology.
Our premise is that to investigate affect is also
always to investigate forces and powers, bodies in
always unequal relations to each other.
One-page abstracts by January 15, 1998 or three copies
of full-length articles by June 1, 1998, to either of
the editors. Material is subject to peer review.
