Emotions, Feelings, Affect, Work
Following a trajectory from the brawny body-machine couplings of the Taylorist factory to the supposed ‘post-Taylor’ cognitive workers and attention engines of the knowledge society; emotions, feelings, and affect have arguably remained a constant, yet under-scrutinized, factor of the management of labour. Indeed, recent interest in the colonization of emotions, feelings, and affect in the workplace perhaps misses the long history of feely managerial strategies…

Day three of the the workshop, organized as part of the project Epidemics and Communities in Critical Theories, Artistic Practices and Speculative Fabulations of the Last Decades financed by The National Science Centre within Opus 20 funding scheme, takes a closer look at viruses because their substantial and figurative potential may open up new perspectives on how to disrupt current imaginaries of epidemics.
