<p class="MsoNormal"><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Special Issue: </b><b>Technoaffect: Bodies, Machines, Media<o:p></o:p></b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The body and affect have always been technological. Technologies of the body circulate affect, producing flows and forms of feeling that are economically and politically situated. Contemporary digital practices are inevitably corporeally
enframed (Hansen 2004), calling upon and creating bodily norms. People diversely experience new ‘configurations of bodies, technology and matter’ (Clough 2007 2) that are accompanied by reworked public feelings (Stewart 2009) and structures of feeling (Williams
1977). Sticky affects glue together ‘ideas, values and objects’ and arrange boundaries between peoples and worlds (Ahmed 2010 29). All too often the resulting inclusions and exclusions reinforce problematic structures of domination. At the same time affective
technologies can be a site for challenging past marginalisations and reworking experiences and understandings of affect, as evidenced by creative and scholarly practices in this area.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This special issue of <i>Transformations</i> pays critical attention to the circulation of affect by bodily technologies, examining contemporary anxiety, hope, hatred, unease, mood, wonder, empathy, shame and joy. We invite submissions
in the areas of philosophy, critical, cultural, media, science and technology studies, and creative arts research. Possible topics include but are not limited to:<o:p></o:p></p>
