SUBALTERN AFFECT [Spoon-Announcements is a moderated list for distributing info of wide enough interest without cross-posting.

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.
