[ecrea] Media and Emotions (special issue of Open Cultural Studies)

It is with great pleasure that we present the special issue“Media and 
Emotions. The New Frontiers of Affect in Digital Culture” 
<https://www.degruyter.com/view/j/culture.2017.1.issue-1/issue-files/culture.2017.1.issue-1.xml>(edited 
by Toby Miller and myself) that explores the role of the new media for 
human emotions. Consisting of ten articles, the issue examines the 
intervention of digitalism into “a whole way of life” (Williams 1960), 
and studies the effects of virtuality on the human experience of 
feelings and the ontologies of human emotional selves. The issue offers 
a myriad of perspectives (from social media studies, to dance studies, 
to robotic art), and it revisits the idea of affectanalyzed in relation 
to changing life environments and human emotional interactions the 
emerge fromthe relationship between new media forms, media-ridden 
realities, and our responses to new ways of emotional structuring.

Enjoy!

With best wishes,
