We are inter ested in the “affective resonances” of these and like conditions which ofte n loom large in the present lives of Southeast Asians. Affect is envisioned as a means for attending to the political through something that feels “re ally real”, which exists in material reality and has acute contemporary sig nificance (Rutherford 2016: 292). Besides its resonating qualities, panelli sts may address affect’s potentiating and potentially debilitating qualitie s: how it encourages or inhibits agency, enchants or disenchants, unites or divides. Contributions may explore any of the ways sociality is shaped by affect, understood broadly to include sensuous and tactile experiences, moo ds and ambiences, along with emotions, as the subjective and cultural exten sions of affect. They may favorably consider “affective encounters” – betwe en local actors, or between locals and migrants, corporations, government a gencies, or nonhuman entities. The focus can be on any context (ritual, pol itical or everyday) and quality (effervescent, tranquil, or transgressive) of expression of affect.
