Beskrivning
Affect and Social Media is an edited collection of twenty bite sized articles by leading scholars from across disciplinary boundaries. It is comprised of four distinct but related sections which are interspersed with artistic illustrations, depicting the affectivities that flow through social media. The term ‘affect’ denotes a rather slippery concept that is not as easily caught as for example ‘emotion’ or ‘feeling’. Quite often it denotes a more than or an excess to that which is felt in the human body or indexed through cultural grids of meaning. It can exist in ways which defy expectations, conventions, and representations. It is often understood as that which is vital to the emergence of the new and hence socio-cultural revolution. As life shifts ever more on-line, we find ourselves caught up in the affective flows of computer mediated practices into an ever expanding and indeterminate horizon. This compilation of articles that were initially presented at an international conference in East London, were selected on the basis of their ability to depict and conceptualise these radical movements of sociality.

Recensioner i media

Affect and Social Media: Emotion, Mediation, Anxiety and Contagion, edited by Tony Sampson, Stephen Maddison, and Darren Ellis, brings together theorists and researchers who offer different perspectives on the ways in which affect shows up in social media, from the boredom at the heart of continual engagement with Facebook to the affective shaping of data and how that interrupts everyday life through wearable technologies. . . . What is evident in the works reviewed is the richness of discussion that emerges in bringing these other fields under the lens of affect.
