在本文中，我描述了希望是如何发生的，为了概述一个明确的理论，在最近的社会和文化地理学的情感和情感问题的背景下，超过理性或低于理性。在本文的第一部分，我概述了一个扩展的超过理性或低于理性的三种形式：影响，感觉和情绪。从这个基础上，我质疑有关情感的文献中的一个假设，即情感的出现和运动能够使生命形式繁衍生息，因为它们“过度”地发生。在论文的第二部分，我通过描述两种情况下的希望和悲伤的出现，提出了一种替代的、更忧郁的说法，在这两种情况下，个人使用录制的音乐来“感觉更好”。从各种形式的减少的中断中出现，不确定性使身体与“外部”接触。成为希望和充满希望为情感理论提出了一系列问题，因为，而不是尽管，悲剧感与希望如何预示情感和情感总是“尚未成为”密切相关。因此，结论部分通过反思希望思维对情感理论和情感文化政治的影响，将本文的两个部分联系在一起。
In this paper I describe how hope takes place, in order to outline an explicit theory of the more-than-rational or less-than rational in the context of the recent attunement to issues of the affectual and emotional in social and cultural geography. In the first part of the paper I outline an expansion of the more-than-rational or less-than-rational into three modalities: affect, feeling, and emotion. From this basis I question an assumption in the literature on affect that the emergence and movement of affect enable the multiplication of forms of life because they takes place 'in excess'. In the second part of the paper I exemplify an alternative, more melancholy account through a description of the emergence of hope and hopefulness in two cases in which recorded music is used by individuals to 'feel better'. Emergent from disruptions in various forms of diminishment, hopefulness moves bodies into contact with an 'outside'. Becoming and being hopeful raise a set of issues for a theory of affect because of, rather than despite, the sense of tragedy that is intimate with how hope heralds the affective and emotive as always 'not-yet become'. The conclusion, therefore, draws the two parts of the paper together by reflecting on the implications of thinking from hope for both a theory of affect and an affective cultural politics.
