Affect, materiality and corporeality: contributions to research on war and migration
Taking up the distinction between affect and emotion, the lecture will argue for a sustained inclusion of the lens of affect in ethnological and anthropological research. While paying particular attention to how affects are related to bodies and things, I will exemplify the contribution of this lens to two fields of my long-term research interest, pertaining to personal experiences in war and migration contexts. Firstly, building on research with recipients of humanitarian aid in Sarajevo in 1990s, I will highlight how corporeal memories of war are brought to the surface in the situation of interviews two decades later. Affect theory allows for an understanding of the ambiguities of victimhood, as well as of local perceptions of post-war hierarchies on different scales. I claim that the affective aspects of war experiences are central to understanding post-war socio-cultural and political processes. Secondly, utilising insights gained in a project on museums as arenas of refugee integration in Sweden, I develop the notion of ‘affective integration’. I claim that the lens of affect facilitates an understanding of the often invoked but vaguely defined ‘feeling at home’ that is not linked to migrants’ access to rights and formal inclusion, but rests on material and corporeal experiences that tend to be overlooked in migration research.
