Social Anthropology Seminar

Monday, 3rd of February 2020

Professor Thomas Stodulka

University of Berlin

Affective Scholarship, Emotional Economies, and The Coming of Age on the Streets of Java

This talk discusses the potential of fieldworkers’ affects and emotions as epistemic processes of ethnographic knowledge construction. It highlights fieldwork and ethnography as relational processes of encountering the so-called ‘other’ (i.e. the non-self) and focusses on the advantages of using emotion diaries as a complementary technique of data construction. In what is defined as Affective Scholarship, I suggest juxtaposing ontologically different data genres when representing the experience, behaviour, and talk of others. I focus on emotion diaries’ potentials and limits to create an additional genre of documenting affective experiences and observations in ways that can assist ethnographers in interpreting and analysing their data. Attending to and documenting affective experience can foster in situ understandings of field relations while preserving them for later-stage analyses? Remains the question, ‘How can fieldworkers make use of their emotion diaries in terms of ethnographic analysis, theory formation, and writing?’ I will try and illustrate this through experiences from long-term fieldwork (2001–2015) on emotional economies and the coming of age of street-related children and young adults in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, which precedes these methodological reflections by over a decade.
