Research Project at the Centre

Politics of Affects: On the Formation of Transnational Political Emotions

My project aims to explore the possible connections between institutions and emotions, particularly how cooperative and democratic practices can be strengthened. I am particularly interested in the role of subjective experiences and narratives in social critique, and how art and technology can contribute to the formation of affects. As a senior researcher at the KHK/Centre for Global Cooperation Research, I plan to investigate the conditions under which transnational political emotions can be formed and build transnational solidarity through institutional and symbolic mediation of affects. I also aim to draw insights from Brazilian Amerindian thought, particularly the works of Yanomami Shaman Davi Kopenawa and Ailton Krenak, exploring how they can contribute to imagining a more pluriversal notion of cosmopolitics.
