Affective Archives as Political Impasse

This special issue presents work of the multidisciplinary and international Affective Archives Research Group that was established in 2016. The aim of the group was to reflect upon the multiple intersections between the affective and aesthetico-political as they occur at various global sites and impact upon various instantiations of subjectivity. We put forward in this issue a number of novel analytical approaches to political and epistemological formations of archives of affect while approaching domains of aesthetics and memorialization as repositories of emotionality and subjectivity.
