Tagung 01.11.17-03.11.17 »Affective Transformations: Politics. Algorithms. Media«
Die Veranstaltung findet vom 01. - 03. November an der Universität Potsdam am Neuen Palais Haus 8 statt.
»Affective Transformations: Politics. Algorithms. Media«
International conference focusing on the emergence of »affective media« (i.e. technologies capable of processing affect) and the simultaneous social and political transformations engendered by uncontrollable »media affects« like hate speech and public shaming etc.
The affective turn has recently come under pressure. The fascination with all things affective that emerged during the 1990s and peaked in the first decade of the 21st century has lost its former innocence and euphoria. Affect Studies and its adjacent disciplines have now to prove that they can cope with the return of the affective real that technology, economy and politics entail.

The conference is part of the Network “Affect- and Psychotechnology Studies. Emergente Techniken affektiver und emotionaler (Selbst-)Kontrolle” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG).
Organisation: Marie-Luise Angerer, Bernd Bösel, Noam Gramlich
The event is open to the public, registration requested.
