Dear Colleagues and Friends,
|
It is my pleasure, on behalf of the entire Board, to present this newsletter, which aims to foster participation and initiate a more dynamic exchange among all members of the WG.
Our WG comprises 112 members from more than 30 countries, and we've experienced recent growth with four new subscriptions and renewals. As of July, our WG's financial status is reported at $1329, according to the executive secretariat
|
I am pleased to inform you that we have conducted three board meetings, where progress has been made in solidifying both our group and team dynamics. We are also beginning to materialize our commitments, particularly in terms of institutionalization and openness.
In pursuit of these goals, one of our initial decisions involved creating a WhatsApp group for all Board members. This platform facilitates the documentation and discussion of actions, ensuring "objective" support for our agreements.
Another crucial decision was to rethink our group's overall communication strategy, vital for achieving our objectives of democratization, consolidation, and growth. With a three-fold focus (Board communication with WG members, internal WG communication, and communication with our communities), we have approved a communication strategy that includes the following elements:
|
In the coming months, this strategy will guide our actions, including the publication of this newsletter and the recent update of our website format, significant steps in consolidating this approach.
To enhance a listening space, the Board conducted a brief survey between September 27th and October 6th. This instrument has proven invaluable for understanding collective opinions, broadening the scope of our usual business meetings, and other open spaces for discussion. The survey results, including expectations and initiatives, are being deliberated in upcoming meetings and Board decisions.
Following recommendations from the survey and in alignment with our election commitments, we have already implemented three concrete actions to foster greater participation and connect with other networks and groups within and outside of ISA:
1) Joint participation with RC54, TG 07, and TG 12 of ISA, and the Committee of Sociology of Emotions of the Spanish Federation of Sociology in the Second Congress of the International Network of Sociology of Sensibilities.
2) Organization and participation in the seminar "Digital Emotions in the Context of Families" with the Sociology of Emotions Committee of the Spanish Federation of Sociology and the Sociology of Emotions, Bodies, and Sensibilities Research Group of the University of Alicante.
3) Acceptance of a joint session with ESA RN11 on "Emotion and Sciences" for the 16th ESA conference, focusing on the specific connection between science, technical transformations, and emotions.
Looking ahead, the Board will be implementing the following initiatives in the coming months:
- "Feeling Meetings": Virtual regional spaces in 2024 to promote member knowledge and facilitate the development of joint initiatives.
- Establishing an X-Twitter account for the WG to share activities and initiatives synchronously with ISA networks.
- Endorsement of the ALAS Congress in the Dominican Republic in November 2024, providing an opportunity for WG members to participate.
As detailed in the remainder of this newsletter, there are exciting plans and meeting points for the next year, guiding us toward spaces of increased listening and shared moments.
I express my gratitude to the Board and all of you for your support, understanding, and collaborative efforts.

Wishing you peace and good health,

16th ESA Conference – Porto 2024
|
27-30 August 2024
Call for papers:
Abstract submission deadline: 15th January 2024
|
Joint session: RN11 + ISA WG08
|
We are delighted to announce that next year's ESA Conference will count on a joint session between ESA RN11 and ISA WG08. We invite everyone to submit papers for this session.
Coordinators:
Cécile Vermot, SupBiotech Paris – ICM
Adrian Scribano, Universityo of Buenos Aires, Argentina
Yvonne Albrecht, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany
For this 16th ESA conference on the theme of "Tension, Trust and Transformation", we are proposing a joint session between ESA-RN11 "Sociology of Emotions" and the International Sociological Association's WorkingGroup 08 "Society and Emotions". This session focuses the specific connection of science and technical transformations and emotions, affects and feelings. We invite you to submit your ideas and suggest three perspectives: First, in contexts of science exists a kind of paradoxy (Amlinger/ Nachtwey 2022) on the one hand, scientific findings are framed as important and inform political decisions. On the other hand, this kind of knowledge is obliterated. we encourage papers which focus on this paradoxy and the role of emotions (trust, mistrust and enthusiasm) in it. Secondly, regarding social transformation, transmission of scientific knowledge in its various forms can also be examined in terms of power issues within its interrelation with emotion. Finally, the constitution of scientific controversies can also be examined in the light of the sociology of emotions. What emotions are involved in those debates which are often framed as neutral and objective? By whom and why? To what extent and in what way are they vectors of tension and transformation? The question of emotions and interdisciplinarity can be posed as that of the production of "situated knowledge" (Haraway 1988).

RN11 Sociology of Emotions
|
Coordinators:
Yvonne Albrecht, Humboldt University of Berlin, Germany
Nina Margies, Humboldt University of Berlin,Germany
Natàlia Cantó Milà, Universitat Obertade Catalunya, Spain
Cécile Vermot, Supbiotech Paris –ICM
Rotem Leshem, Tel Aviv University
With regard to the general topic of the conference “Tension, Trust and Transformation”, the Research Network 11 “Sociology of Emotions” brings into focus emotions, feelings, affects and atmospheres, that are entangled in and often driver of processes of transformation. In the context of climate change activism, global inequalities, persisting levels of populism and increased digitalization, what emotions are involved and how? What changes have been triggered by the Covid-19 pandemic? In what ways has "emotion work" been conducted on a collective level, where and why has it been absent? Is the current situation truly one of disruption and transformation –what are the emotional markers that suggest this scenario? How is trust possible under such circumstances? How can bonding and solidarity be created in a deeply segregated society? And on the other hand, how are anger, fear, sorrow, even hate parts of these transformation processes? All high-quality abstracts that focus primarily on emotions, affects, and feelings will be taken seriously.

RS13 - Emotions and Neoinstitutionalism
|
Coordinators:
Helena Flam, Universität Leipzig, Germany
Nina Margies, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Germany
Åsa Wettergren, University of Gothenburg, Sweden
In the past 50 years the Sociology of Emotions has been consolidated as a research area, generating numerous research projects and publications on individual and collective identity, work organizations, politics and social movements.
The here proposed Research Stream turns to the Sociologists of Emotion and Neoinstitutionalists. The purpose is to launch a new approach to the research of emotions and institutions. In the Sociology of Emotions some work has already been done on schools, courts, prisons as well as on the state and the military. But this research has not been informed by Neoinstitutionalism and its derivative forms. Neoinstitutionalism has focused on the role of culture in the institution-building, and, in particular, on the diffusion of specific institutions within nation-states and across the globe. Its derivate -"institutional work" approach -has offered an interesting research agenda, but applied it mostly to corporations and work organizations rather than institutions. It focused on interests, beliefs and values, omitting emotions. Referring to these two approaches, one can say that Neoinstitutionalism managed to stay immune to the "emotional turn". Only "organizational institutionalism" explores the role of emotions, but research on work organizations and corporations predominates.
The proposed Stream is meant as an invitation to emotion-specialists to open up to Neoinstitutionalism and its new variants and to Neoinstitutionalists to explore the role of emotions in the institutions they study. Institutional, Historical and Political Sociologists might find both of interest. Abstracts working with Lawrence and Suddaby (2006), Jepperson and Meyer (2021), Lok, Creed, DeJordy, Voronow (2017) and Flam (parts of “Remembered and Retrieved” 2024) will be given priority. Two Sessions, each with four presentations, are envisaged.

2nd Congress International Network of Sociology of Sensibilities (RedISS)
|
The 2nd Congress of the International Network of Sociology of Sensibilities (RedISS) was a big success, engaging in panels, presentations and discussions around the call "Love, Hope and Trust" in contemporary society from the perspective of social sensibilities. Organized into 20 Working Groups, the congress was held online, enabling the participation of more than 350 participants from 40 different countries, including more than 20 members of ISA WG08. Other groups from ISA, such as TG07 Senses and Society and ISA RC54 The Body in the Social Sciences, collaborated in the event, permitting further tightening of the bonds between different groups within the association.
The event constituted an important milestone for social studies in emotions, body and sensibilities, and we are proud of the involvement and participation of our working group.

Arlie R. Hochschild lecture at ECyS - FLACSO Argentina’s Conference
|
On 31 October and 1 November 2023, the ECyS conference "40 Years of Education, Knowledge, and Society in Democracy" was held, organized by the Education, Knowledge, and Society Program of the Latin American Faculty of Social Sciences (FLACSO) Argentina.
The closing lecture, moderated by Mariana Nobile, was given by Professor Arlie Russell Hochschild. Entitled 'Building Bridges in the Shadow of a Dictator's Appeal', she shared the ideas of her forthcoming book (to be published in 2024), in which she analyses the emotional components of the leadership built by Trump to engage his followers. Hochschild's contributions are enriching for reflecting on the Argentinian political situation on its 40th anniversary of democracy when a far-right force is showing clear growth at the polls.
Hochschild lecture will be soon available on the YouTube ECyS channel: https://youtube.com/@programaecys4591?si=j8ypMMflzm7zL7yH

Memory and resistance: mournful lives in women victims of human rights violations as actors of society
|
Project coordinated by member Karla Henriquez
Political violence and human rights violations have a long history in Latin America. A distinctive gender-related element emerges in women bereaved by losing a significant other due to this violence. Throughout the continent, women are mobilising through collective actions and social movements to make these victims and this violence visible and to resist forgetting these lost lives. In this context, "mourning activism" is a way for these women to demand the recognition of the value of these lives lost or threatened due to human rights violations, while at the same time asserting themselves as actors in their society.
The main objective of this project is to study duels from a gender perspective to make visible the fundamental elements of the forms of subjection that arise from the work of the duel between women due to political violence.
This project, coordinated by Karla Henriquez (UCLouvain), brings together sociologists and social psychologists based in Belgium and Chile to understand better the personal and collective dimensions of these actors, who have played a crucial role in the recent history of Latin America and are today among the few actors who are rising in the face of widespread violence in some countries in the region.
