| Abstract | "Affect is a slippery scholarly term that has been at the centre of social theory debates since the "affective turn" of the 1990s. Early affect research began with the attempt to distinguish affect from feeling and emotion; however, subsequent work began to question and blur these categories as it became apparent that a trans-disciplinary framework was necessary to account for the dynamic and multifaceted nature of affect. As a result, it can sometimes be difficult to identify where affect begins and ends. This collection approaches this difficulty as an invitation to question and challenge categorizations and strict definitions, both in relation to affect and to mothering."-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "Unlike affect, "mother" is often assumed to be a straightforward, common sense kind of word. Yet, both the motherhood studies literature and first-hand accounts from self-identified mothers make it abundantly clear that the boundaries of "mother" are neither clear nor static. Furthermore, affect, mothering, and especially the affects of mothering can be seen as so ordinary or "everyday" that they can easily be rendered invisible or inconsequential. Attending to the intersections of affect and mothering is therefore a reclamation of the everyday as a culturally, socially, and politically relevant arena of world-making."-- Provided by publisher. |
| Abstract | "This cross-disciplinary collection considers the intersection of affect and mothering, with the aim of expanding both the experiential and theoretical frameworks that guide our understanding of mothering and of theories of affect. It brings together creative, reflective, poetic, and theoretical pieces to question, challenge, and re-conceptualize motherhood through the lens of affect, and affect through the lens of motherhood. The collection also aims to explore less examined mothering experiences such as failure, disgust, and ambivalence in order to challenge normative paradigms and narratives surrounding mothers and mothering. The authors in this collection demonstrate the theoretical and practical possibilities opened up by a simultaneous consideration of affect and mothering, thereby broadening our understanding of the complexities and nuances of the always changing experiences of affect and mothering."-- Provided by publisher. |
