Affect and Material Culture : Perspectives and Strategies

• In this introduction to a collection of essays, the editors present how the analysis of affects is grounded in relevant philosophical traditions, review some of the achievements within the humanities and social sciences and raise important methodological issues for ethnology and anthropology. The book is born out of a curiosity to find out how ethnographic research into material culture could benefit from achievements in the growing field of affect and emotion studies.
