    Carsten Stage (Associate Professor,Aarhus University)

Affective Methodologies reacts to a challenge: How to trace and
understand the immaterial forces of affects as cultural researchers? Its
aim is thus to contribute to the development of methodologies that
enable cultural researchers and students to investigate affective
processes empirically. It defines affective methods as innovative
strategies for 1) asking research questions and formulating research
agendas relating to affective processes, for 2) collecting or producing
embodied data and for 3) making sense of this data in order to produce
academic knowledge. It furthermore presents affective research using
inventive experiments, embodied forms of fieldwork or innovative
approaches to the reading for affects in texts and writing. It presents
studies of nightclubs, YouTube memes, political provocations, heritage
sites, education development, and haunting memories. In this way, the
collection serves as an inspiration for all academics embarking on or
developing empirical research strategies to understand affects'
predominant role in cultural life.
