The way we conceive the human today is particularly affected by the shifts in media technology during the 20th century. Affect emerges as the new liminal concept that renders the body compatible in novel ways with the technology and politics of media. By ways of a relational reorganization the organic end technological life is condensed in a new, intense way to an ecology of affects.

Across psychology, philosophy, economics, and neuroscience, there has been an explosion of interest in the topic of emotion and affect. Comprehensive, authoritative, up-to-date, and easy-to-use, the new Oxford Companion to Emotion and the Affective Sciences is an indispensable resource for all who wish to find out about theories, concepts, methods, and research findings in this rapidly growing interdisciplinary field - one that brings together, amongst others, psychologists, neuroscientists, social scientists, philosophers, and historians.

Cacioppo, Tim Dalgleish, Robert Dantzer, Richard J. Davidson, Ronald B. de Sousa, Phoebe C. Ellsworth, Nico Frijda, George Loewenstein, Paula M. Niedenthal, Peter Salovey, and Richard A. Shweder). The members of the editorial board have commissioned and reviewed contributions frommajor experts on specific topics.In addition to comprehensive coverage of technical terms and fundamental issues, the volume also highlights current debates that inform the ongoing research process.

Affect, or the process by which emotions come to be embodied, is a burgeoning area of interest in both the humanities and the sciences. For Timing of Affect, Marie-Luise Angerer, Bernd Bösel, and Michaela Ott have assembled leading scholars to explore the temporal aspects of affect through the perspectives of philosophy, music, film, media, and art, as well as technology and neurology. The contributions address possibilities for affect as a capacity of the body; as an anthropological inscription and a primary, ontological conjunctive and disjunctive processes; as an interruption of chains of s

Este volumen examina la hasta hoy poco tratada imbricación entre la emoción y el desplazamiento de los hispanos por el mundo en función de los contextos socio-políticos y los momentos vitales de los concernidos. Reúne aportaciones en español y en inglés de un variado espectro de disciplinas -desde los estudios literarios, culturales y de género, hasta la antropología y la sociología- que analizan esta imbricación, sus funciones y modalidades en base a un entendimiento amplio del concepto de emotive de William Reddy. Así, este libro recoge una gran gama de medios -como la literatura, el cine, las páginas web, los vlogs y las entrevistas- en los que los hispanos expresan sus emociones respecto a sus viajes o experiencias migratorias, pero también a los efectos a largo plazo de desplazamientos históricos en sujetos que se sienten desplazados o fuera de lugar en el presente. De este modo, Hispanos en el mundo aborda un tema de gran actualidad y relevancia y, además, cubre un vacío investigativo, no solo en los estudios de la migración -con la excepción de algunos trabajos que suelen centrarse en el ámbito de lo familiar y de los cuidados-, sino también en el hispanismo, donde se erige como estudio pionero. Moving elsewhere is a moving thing. This volume sheds light on the interdependence of emotion and the migration of Hispanics in the world. The essays, written in Spanish and English and departing from various perspectives and disciplines, analyze different media in which Spanish-speaking individuals express their feelings about their travels, their personal experience with migration, and the repercussions of historic migration movements.
