SFB 1171: Affective Societies: Dynamics of Social Coexistence in Mobile Worlds

合作研究中心（CRC） 1171情感社会研究影响和情感作为21世纪社会共存的关键因素。该中心的主要目标是建立一种对社会的新理解，对情感和情感的重要意义给予应有的重视。自2015年以来，该中心一直致力于发展基于经验的情感关系理论，该理论已成为社会科学、文化研究和人文科学领域国际情感和影响研究的焦点参考点。在2019年开始的第二阶段，儿童权利委员会调查了政治、媒体、教育、宗教和艺术等领域的制度稳定和变化的动态。当前的全球危机，如COVID-19大流行、俄罗斯入侵乌克兰和不断升级的气候危机，都支持《儿童权利公约》的假设，即社会、政治和生态转型及其伴随的冲突是当前全球的特征。这些事件除了造成人身伤害外，还引发了巨大的恐惧和不安全感，粉碎了人们的信任。鉴于这些发展，有关未来社会共存方式的问题变得特别紧迫。基于其早期的发现，CRC情感社会建议研究关于社会构成和社会生活模式的当今冲突的情感和情感动态。情感和情绪不仅塑造、维持和改变这些冲突，我们认识到它们本身也日益成为冲突和争论的根源。两个关键问题将指导我们未来的研究：关于不同形式的社会共存的冲突是如何受到不同的情感模式和情感的影响的？在关于当代社会的愿景和预期的争论中，影响和情感本身在哪里以及以何种方式变得有争议？通过回答这些问题，我们的目标是对社会冲突的情感和情感动态，参与其中的行动者，以及处于危险中的各种取向，生活形式和身份有更深刻的理解。特别令人感兴趣的是那些预测未来社会生活和组织形式的思想和冲动。来自社会科学、文化研究和人文学科的9个学科的研究人员将在11个子项目中解决这些问题，这些子项目分为三个主题领域：动员、谈判和避免。一个新的批判性反思（TP R）中心项目和完善的理论与方法研讨会将确保高质量的跨学科研究。新的子项目公众参与（TP Ö）将以几种创新的形式向更广泛的公众传播儿童权利委员会的结果。

The collaborative research center (CRC) 1171 Affective Societies studies affect and emotion as crucial factors of coexistence in 21st century societies. The center’s main aim is to build a new understanding of societies that gives due weight to the crucial significance of affect and emotion. Since 2015, the CRC has worked to develop an empirically grounded theory of affective relationality, which has since become a focal reference point in international emotion and affect research within the social sciences, cultural studies, and the humanities. In its current second funding phase, which began in 2019, the CRC has investigated the dynamics of institutional stability and change in fields such as politics, media, education, religion and the arts. Current global crises such as the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and the escalating climate crisis all support the assumption of the CRC that social, political, and ecological transformations and their concomitant conflicts are characteristic of the global present. Besides the personal harm these events have caused, they have also kindled massive fears and insecurities and have shattered people’s trust. In view of these developments, questions concerning future modes of social coexistence become particularly pressing. Based upon its earlier findings, the CRC Affective Societies proposes to study the affective and emotional dynamics of present day conflicts concerning the constitution of societies and modes of social life. Affect and emotion not only shape, sustain, and shift these conflicts, we recognize that they are increasingly a source of conflict and contestation themselves.Two key questions will guide our future research: In what ways are conflicts about different forms of social coexistence impacted by diverging modes of affectivity and repertoires of emotion? Where and in what manner do affects and emotions themselves become contested in disputes about visions and anticipations for contemporary societies? By answering these questions, we aim to develop a sharpened understanding of the affective and emotional dynamics of social conflicts, the actors involved in them, and the various orientations, lifeforms and identities which are at stake. Of particular interest are those ideas and impulses that anticipate future forms of social life and organization. Researchers from nine disciplines within the social sciences, cultural studies, and the humanities will tackle these topics in eleven subprojects, which are clustered into three thematic areas: mobilizing, negotiating and averting. A new central project for critical reflection (TP R) and the well-established Theory and Methods Workshop will ensure high-quality interdisciplinary research. The new subproject Public Engagement (TP Ö) will disseminate the CRC’s results to the broader public by way of several innovative formats.
