ABSTRACT

This introductory article lays some theoretical ground that stimulated this special issue: first, the argument that affect is not “in”, or indeed “outside of” the individual or the social, but relates to the circulation of emotion between different sites, objects or bodies; and, second, that how this circulation of emotion works, in and through discourse, has not been sufficiently taken up and explored by semioticians, linguists and (critical) discourse analysts. Through adopting a range of theoretical and analytic insights, applied to a wide variety of discursive/empirical materials generated, produced and consumed in diverse geopolitical contexts, the articles in his special issue make a significant contribution to our understanding of the ways that affect “circulates” through semiosis.

摘要

这篇介绍性文章奠定了激发这一特刊的一些理论基础：首先，影响不是“在”个人或社会的“内部”或“外部”，而是涉及不同地点、对象或社会之间的情感循环。身体; 其次，这种情绪的循环是如何在话语中和通过话语进行的，还没有被符号学家、语言学家和（批判性）话语分析家充分接受和探索。通过采用一系列理论和分析见解，应用于在不同地缘政治背景下产生、生产和消费的各种话语/经验材料，他的特刊中的文章对我们理解影响“流通”的方式做出了重大贡献。 ”通过符号。
