The Radical Open Access Collective is a community of scholar-led, not-for-proft presses, journals, and other open access projects. Now consisting of more than 50 members, we promote a progressive vision for open publishing in the humanities and social sciences. What we have in common is an understanding of open access as being characterised by a spirit of ongoing creative experimentation. 2019 | Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry 1 (4) Capacious: Journal for Emerging Affect Inquiry is an EDITORIAL open access, peer-reviewed, international journal that is, frst and foremost, dedicated to the publication of writings and similar creative works on affect by degree-seeking TEAM students (Masters, PhD, brilliant undergraduates) across any and all academic disciplines. Secondarily, the journal also welcomes contributions from early-career researchers, recent post-graduates, those approaching their study of affect independent of academia (by choice or not), and, on occasion, an established scholar with an ‘emerging’ idea that opens up new avenues for affect CO-EDITORS-IN-CHIEF inquiry. The principal aim of Capacious is to ‘make room’ for a wide diversity of approaches and emerging voices Gregory J. Seigworth to engage with ongoing conversations in and around affect studies. Millersville University Managing Editor This journal will champion work that resists: [email protected] • the critical ossifcation of affect inquiry into rigid Mathew Arthur theoretical postures • the same dreary citational genealogies Simon Fraser University [email protected] • any too assured reiteration of disciplinary orthodoxies The journal will always encourage the energies and EDITORS enthusiasms, the fresh perspectives and provocations that younger scholars so often bring to bear on affect Wendy J. Truran within and across unique and sometimes divergent fields of intellectual endeavor. Capacious seeks to Georgia Institute of Technology [email protected] avoid issuing formal ‘calls for papers’ and ‘special theme issues.’ Submissions to this journal are accepted Bryan G. Behrenshausen at anytime and are welcome to pursue any and all topic areas or approaches relating to affect. Red Hat [email protected] Our not-so-secret wish is that essays and issues will forever remain capacious and rangy: emerging from various disciplines and conceptual [t]angles. Indeed, our aim for every journal issue would be that its collected essays not really coalesce all that much, but rather rub up against one another unexpectedly or shoot past each other without ever touching on quite the same disciplinary procedures, theoretical presuppositions or subject matter. Capacious shall always endeavor to promote diverse bloom-spaces for affect’s study over the dulling hum of any specifc orthodoxy. From our own editorial practices down through the interstices of this journal’s contents, the Capacious ethos is most thoroughly engaged by those critical-affective undertakings that fnd ways of ‘making room.’ EDITORIAL BOARD Ben Anderson Anna Hickey-Moody Tony Sampson Durham University RMIT University University of East London Meera Atkinson Ben Highmore Donovan Schaefer University of Sydney University of Sussex University of Pennsylvania Joshua Trey Barnett Deborah Kapchan Natasha Schüll University of Minnesota, Duluth New York University New York University Lauren Berlant Tero Karppi Kyla Schuller University of Chicago University of Toronto Rutgers University Lone Bertelsen Anu Koivunen Janae Sholtz Scroggs University of New South Wales Stockholm University Alvernia University Lisa Marie Blackman Ali Lara Hasana Sharp Goldsmiths, University of London The City University of New York McGill University Casey Boyle Jennifer LeMesurier Steven Shaviro University of Texas at Austin Colgate University Wayne State University Jack Bratich Mona Mannevuo Chad Shomura Rutgers University University of Turku University of Colorado, Denver Sarah Cefai Erin Manning Nathan Snaza Goldsmiths, University of London Concordia University University of Richmond Ruth Charnock Belén Martin-Lucas Eliza Steinbock Lincoln University University of Vigo Leiden University Rebecca Coleman Brian Massumi Elizabeth Stephens Goldsmiths, University of London University of Montreal University of Queensland Ann Cvetkovich Shaka McGlotten Kathleen Stewart University of Texas at Austin State University of New York, Purchase University of Texas at Austin Joe Deville Andrew Murphie Kristin Swenson Lancaster University University of New South Wales Butler University Jennifer Fisher Jussi Parikka Fredrika Thelandersson York University University of Southampton Rutgers University Jonas Fritsch Susanna Paasonen Marie Thompson Aarhus University University of Turku Lincoln University Radhika Gajjala Carolyn Pedwell Milla Tiainen Bowling Green State University University of Kent University of Helsinki Jeremy Gilbert John Protevi Virginia Villamediana University of East London Louisiana State University FLASCO Melissa Gregg Jasbir Puar Isabel Waidner Intel Corporation Rutgers University Roehampton University Lawrence Grossberg Andrej Radman Elizabeth Wilson University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill University of Delft Emory University Richard Grusin Jason Read Julie Wilson University of Wisconsin – Milwaukee University of Southern Maine Allegheny College M.

Sometimes your research even works as a catalyst for media events, folding you into afective intensifcations being modulated through a range of interfaces. Intensifcations that you could hardly have foreseen. Obviously, this ‘becoming your data’ poses a methodological challenge, and requires a keen eye to the ways in which afect is governed. Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 (CC BY 4.0) capaciousjournal.com | DOI: https://doi.org/10.22387/CAP2019.32 iii Affective Politics and Involuntary Autoethnography: Backlashes Against #metoo In the beginning of 2019, I published a research communication piece about the Danish news media’s coverage of #metoo on Facebook (Reestorf 2019). Even though the piece was published on a scholarly website called videnskab.dk (trans- lation: science.dK), I quicKly received hostile and dehumanizing messages. The experience reminded me that sometimes, as researchers, we are forced to conduct an involuntary but necessary autoethnography. When you are drawn into an in- tense media debate, as I was, you are simply forced to consider the way in which you are afected and not least being framed and resituated in relation to your data. In the meshwork of afects that emerge in these situations it is crucial to fnd ways to rearticulate your research and insist that it is placed in the context for which it was intended. More specifcally, I had to fnd a way to make categorical mapping and autoethnography merge in order to study the ways in which afect is intensifed and governed. In the following, I frst introduce the methodology ‘categorical mapping’ and the key fndings from my study of the Danish media’s coverage of #metoo on FacebooK. Then, I turn to the analysis and suggest that, what I will call, posthu- manitarian journalism is

    Sexual and Gender Minority Health Research Listening Session Virtual Meeting November 19, 2020, 1:00 p.m.–2:30 p.m. EST [MEETING START TIME: 1:00 P.M. EST] DR. KAREN PARKER: Welcome to the second annual NIH SGM Health Research Listening Session. I’m so happy to be here. My name is Karen Parker, and my pronouns are she and her. I currently serve as director of the Sexual & Gender Minority Research Office at NIH. The primary goal of today’s listening session is for NIH leaders and staff to hear from community stakeholders about what issues are on their mind regarding SGM-related research and related activities at the National Institutes of Health. Selection of these organizations invited today is based on the diversity of organizational missions and efforts. This year, we will have 11 organizations presenting to us. Before we began listening to comments from these stakeholders, we will hear remarks from several senior NIH leaders. We also have several colleagues in attendance from across the different Institutes, Centers, and Offices at the agency, and we are all excited to hear from them. I will be serving as moderator for today’s session, and we will be prompting speakers, both NIH leaders and invited organizational representatives, to turn your audio and video on when it is your time to provide remarks. Please be sure to mute your audio and video feed when you are not speaking. To members of the public who are joining in today to listen, welcome. This session is being recorded, and both a captioned video and transcription document will be posted to the SGMRO website in the coming weeks.

  • Phenomenology of Perception
    Copyrighted Material-Taylor & Francis Phenomenology of Perception Maurice Merleau-Ponty Copyrighted Material-Taylor & Francis Phenomenology of Perception First published in 1945, Maurice Merleau-Ponty’s monumental Phénoménologie de la perception signaled the arrival of a major new philosophical and intellectual voice in post-war Europe. Breaking with the prevailing picture of existentialism and phenom- enology at the time, it has become one of the landmark works of twentieth-century thought. This new translation, the first for over fifty years, makes this classic work of philosophy available to a new generation of readers. Phenomenology of Perception stands in the great phenomenological tradition of Hus- serl, Heidegger, and Sartre. Yet Merleau-Ponty’s contribution is decisive, as he brings this tradition and other philosophical predecessors, particularly Descartes and Kant, to confront a neglected dimension of our experience: the lived body and the phenom- enal world. Charting a bold course between the reductionism of science on the one hand and “intellectualism” on the other, Merleau-Ponty argues that we should regard the body not as a mere biological or physical unit, but as the body which structures one’s situation and experience within the world. Merleau-Ponty enriches his classic work with engaging studies of famous cases in the history of psychology and neurology as well as phenomena that continue to draw our attention, such as phantom limb syndrome, synesthesia, and hallucination. This new translation includes many helpful features such as the reintroduction of Mer- leau-Ponty’s discursive Table of Contents as subtitles into the body of the text, a com- prehensive Translator’s Introduction to its main themes, essential notes explaining key terms of translation, an extensive Index, and an important updating of Merleau-Ponty’s references to now available English translations.

  • Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line
    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 © Copyright by Benjamin Grant Doleac 2018 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION “We Made It Through That Water”: Rhythm, Dance, and Resistance in the New Orleans Second Line by Benjamin Grant Doleac Doctor of Philosophy in Ethnomusicology University of California, Los Angeles, 2018 Professor Cheryl L. Keyes, Chair The black brass band parade known as the second line has been a staple of New Orleans culture for nearly 150 years. Through more than a century of social, political and demographic upheaval, the second line has persisted as an institution in the city’s black community, with its swinging march beats and emphasis on collective improvisation eventually giving rise to jazz, funk, and a multitude of other popular genres both locally and around the world. More than any other local custom, the second line served as a crucible in which the participatory, syncretic character of black music in New Orleans took shape. While the beat of the second line reverberates far beyond the city limits today, the neighborhoods that provide the parade’s sustenance face grave challenges to their existence. Ten years after Hurricane Katrina tore up the economic and cultural fabric of New Orleans, these largely poor communities are plagued on one side by underfunded schools and internecine violence, and on the other by the rising tide of post-disaster gentrification and the redlining-in- disguise of neoliberal urban policy.

  • On the Postmodern Condition
    1 Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Works Volume 7 December 2020 On the Postmodern Condition Sean Carroll Abstract University of Texas at San Antonio As a cultural movement, Postmodernism begun to solidify itself since the 1970s. Despite what some may say of its necessarily unstructured nature, coherent reflection about it is useful. While there is a growing literature on this topic, the present study, as suggested by David Harvey, seeks to use an historical, materialist framework, as developed by Karl Marx, to interpret postmodern culture. To do this, I began with the studies of the substructures of postmodern culture (political-economic and material conditions), and then sought to find reflective cohesion among its ‘aesthetic’ superstructures (social, philosophical, cinematic, literary, and musical) and their underlying conditions. As a result, from these studies, I found that the aesthetic sentiments of postmodern culture quite neatly map onto the material conditions, which inform its context. These sentiments imply a complicit disposition towards many aspects of late capitalism (such as consumerism and alienation). These findings are significant because it forces postmodernism to take a more honest look at itself, and become self-aware of its implications. My findings imply that if postmodern sentiments truly want to harbor an activism toward the status quo, it must first realign itself with more unifying attitudes. While a single resolution has yet to be concluded, the present study provides some general directions

  • Maurice Merleau-Ponty: Phenomenology of Perception
    Phenomenology of Perception ‘In this text, the body-organism is linked to the world through a network of primal significations, which arise from the perception of things.’ Michel Foucault ‘We live in an age of tele-presence and virtual reality. The sciences of the mind are finally paying heed to the centrality of body and world. Everything around us drives home the intimacy of perception, action and thought. In this emerging nexus, the work of Merleau- Ponty has never been more timely, or had more to teach us ... The Phenomenology of Perception covers all the bases, from simple perception-action routines to the full Monty of conciousness, reason and the elusive self. Essential reading for anyone who cares about the embodied mind.’ Andy Clark, Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Cognitive Science Program, Indiana University Maurice Merleau-Ponty Phenomenology of Perception Translated by Colin Smith London and New York Phénomènologie de la perception published 1945 by Gallimard, Paris English edition first published 1962 by Routledge & Kegan Paul First published in Routledge Classics 2002 by Routledge 11 New Fetter Lane, London EC4P 4EE 29 West 35th Street, New York, NY 10001 Routledge is an imprint of the Taylor & Francis Group This edition published in the Taylor and Francis e-Library, 2005. “To purchase your own copy of this or any of Taylor & Francis or Routledge’s collection of thousands of eBooks please go to www.eBookstore.tandf.co.uk.” © 1945 Editions Gallimard Translation © 1958 Routledge & Kegan Paul All rights reserved.

Terrell, Dean of the Robert B. Toulouse School of Graduate Studies Moore, Erin Christine, Between Logos and Eros: New Orleans’ Confrontation with Modernity. Master of Arts (Philosophy), May 2008, 96 pp., 9 illustrations, references, 68 titles. This thesis examines the environmental and social consequences of maintaining the artificial divide between thinking and feeling, mind and matter, logos and eros. New Orleans, a city where the natural environment and human sensuality are both dominant forces, is used as a case study to explore the implications of our attempts to impose rational controls on nature – both physical and human nature. An analysis of New Orleans leading up to and immediately following Hurricane Katrina (2005) reveals that the root of the trouble in the city is not primarily environmental, technological, political, or sociological, but philosophical: there is something amiss in the relationship between human rationality and the corporeal world. I argue that policy decisions which do not include the contributions of experts from the humanities and qualitative social sciences – persons with expertise on human emotions, intentions, priorities and desires – will continue to be severely compromised.

Though later in life the poet will celebrate conjugal love in Book IV of Paradise Lost (1667) and in Sonnet XXIII Methought I saw my late espousèd saint (1673), in 1645 Milton proffers his lyric of erotic desire in the Italian language alone. His choice is both unusual and entirely fitting. How did Milton, born in Cheapside, acquire Italian at such an elevated level of proficiency? When did he write these poems and where? Is the woman about whom he speaks an historical person or is she merely the poetic trope demanded by the genre? Though relatively few critics have addressed the style of Milton’s Italian verse, an astonishing range of views has nonetheless emerged from their assessments.
