Hi Anne and all,
Thanks for today and the possibility to join your new cluster,
Very interesting to hear some glimpses of the topics you have been discussing up until now and
are currently thinking about focusing on.
I look forward to reading and discussing together.
Something that came up in my thoughts after the meeting, and the raised
question of affect in meaning formation, the concept of "nostalgia",
as well as "the mobilization of affect" and the relation between affect and aesthetics
was the concept "hauntology" ,first described by Jaques Derrida, but very relevant across artistic expressions.
Maybe this is more related to my own research interests right now but , if relevant also for the group, I could look for some text to read and discuss together in our next session.
All best
Kerstin

Dear IMS Affect members and affiliates,
The agenda of the meeting is quite loose to allow for an open exchange. We'll start with reaffirming the mission of the cluster, including any thoughts on refining it that may have emerged since the launching of the cluster's website. We'll then update each
other on news regarding relevant on-going or future research (core members) and research ideas or projects that could be relevant to the cluster (affiliates). Lastly, we'll talk about future activities, and particularly ideas for readings that we could discuss
together.
Please feel free to share the meeting place/link with people who might be interested in joining and whom you trust. If you know of someone who may want to join the mailing list, you can direct them to me.
Look forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes,
Anne & Niklas
PS Re-sending as it turned out that the mailing list subscription wasn't up to scratch the first time around.
