Abstract

Ross is working on a book, Economies of Affect: Memory, Emotion, and International Politics, which puts forward a new perspective on passion in international politics. He sees political passion as emotion-laden environments, or “circulations of affect,” and explores these circulations of affect in three areas: ethnic conflict and nationalism in Rwanda and Yugoslavia in the 1990s; institutions concerned with justice after a conflict, such as war-crimes trials and truth commissions; and public responses to terrorism after 9/11.
