Circuits of Compassion: The Affective Labor of Uganda’s Christian Orphan Choirs
African Studies Review ( IF 0.8 ) Pub Date : 2020-01-13 , DOI: 10.1017/asr.2019.70
Lydia Boyd

Abstract: Uganda’s touring orphan choirs engage in a form of charity that is dependent on the mobility not only of money, but also of people and sentiments. Boyd considers the moral economies that underlie this ongoing project of compassionate “circulation.” If a key finding of the work on humanitarian affect has been how such “affective surpluses” mask inequalities between donors and recipients, this article considers how participants in charitable relationships conceive of dependency and indebtedness differently. These differences compel us to understand how moral and religious sentiments give shape to the inequalities inherent in dominant forms of global humanitarian “care.”

同情心:乌干达基督教孤儿合唱团的情感劳动

摘要:乌干达巡回孤儿合唱团从事一种慈善形式,不仅依赖于金钱的流动性,还依赖于人和情感的流动性。博伊德考虑了这个正在进行的富有同情心的“循环”项目背后的道德经济。如果人道主义影响工作的一个关键发现是这种“情感盈余”如何掩盖捐赠者和接受者之间的不平等,那么本文将考虑慈善关系中的参与者如何以不同的方式看待依赖和负债。这些差异迫使我们理解道德和宗教情绪如何塑造全球人道主义“关怀”占主导地位的形式中固有的不平等。
