This article explores how civil society-based safety engagements are represented in Swedish news media, and how these representations are mediated through emotions. In a political climate where “increased safety” has become a dominant goal, we analyze how media narratives construct emotional regimes around safety and responsibility. Drawing on Stuart Halls work on representation and theories of emotions, we show how news media not only reflect but help (re)produce emotional and spatial geographies of (un)safety through personalized storytelling and emotive language. Focusing on personal portrayals of grassroots safety initiatives, such as women-led taxi services and local volunteer efforts, we demonstrate how emotions such as fear and frustration are articulated as morally productive and politically legitimate responses to unsafety. These narratives represent engagement as a matter of individual initiative and personal responsibility, often along gendered and racialized lines. Women are depicted as self-governing subjects whose emotional investments justify their civic actions, aligning with neoliberal ideals of responsibilized citizenship. Media participates in an emotional politics that valorizes agency and affective community while depoliticizing broader issues of inequality and exclusion. These representations risk obscuring the structural causes of unsafety by recasting safety as a matter of personal duty rather than collective or institutional responsibility.

本文探讨了以公民社会为基础的安全参与是如何在瑞典新闻媒体中表现出来的，以及这些表现是如何通过情绪来调解的。在“增加安全”已成为主导目标的政治气候中，我们分析了媒体叙事如何围绕安全和责任构建情感制度。借鉴斯图尔特·霍尔在情感表征和理论方面的工作，我们展示了新闻媒体如何不仅反映，而且通过个性化的故事讲述和情感语言帮助（重新）产生（非）安全的情感和空间地理。关注基层安全倡议的个人描述，例如女性领导的出租车服务和当地志愿者的努力，我们展示了如何将恐惧和沮丧等情绪表达为道德上富有成效和政治上合法的对不安全的反应。这些叙述将参与视为个人主动性和个人责任的问题，通常是按性别和种族划分的。女性被描绘成自我管理的主体，她们的情感投入证明了她们的公民行为是正当的，这与负责任的公民的新自由主义理想是一致的。媒体参与了一种情绪化的政治，这种政治使机构和情感社区变得稳定，同时使更广泛的不平等和排斥问题去政治化。通过将安全重新定义为个人责任而不是集体或机构责任，这些表述有可能模糊不安全的结构性原因。

This study explores the emotional dimension of interprovincial migration of seven Filipino women from Central Visayas who navigate the complexities of familial obligations, cultural values, and emotions. Central to this exploration is ‘utang na loob’ or debt of gratitude, a core Filipino value that drives migrants to maintain familial connections and fulfill cultural obligation despite distance. Through the lens of emotional geography, this study reveals how the utang na loob of these women sustain family intimacy and emotional bonds. In the context of their return, returning home represents the fulfillment of utang na loob and the opportunity to reconnect physically with loved ones. The findings highlight the gendered nature of migration, as women challenge traditional caregiving and economic roles while maintaining their emotional and relational commitments. By exploring the interplay between space, emotions, and familial obligations, this study offers nuanced insights into how intimacy and cultural values like utang na loob shape the migration experiences of women, enriching our understanding of interprovincial migration as an emotionally driven process.

本研究探讨了来自中米沙鄢群岛的七名菲律宾妇女跨省移民的情感维度，她们在家庭义务、文化价值观和情感的复杂性中游移。这一探索的核心是“utang na loob”或感恩之债，这是菲律宾的核心价值观，驱使移民保持家庭联系，履行文化义务，尽管距离遥远。通过情感地理的视角，这项研究揭示了这些女性的情感网络是如何维持家庭亲密和情感纽带的。在他们返乡的背景下，返乡代表着一种信念的实现，以及与亲人身体上重新联系的机会。调查结果强调了移民的性别性质，因为女性在保持情感和关系承诺的同时挑战了传统的照顾和经济角色。通过探索空间、情感和家庭义务之间的相互作用，本研究提供了细致入微的见解，揭示了亲密关系和文化价值观（如utang na loob）如何塑造女性的迁移经历，丰富了我们对跨省迁移作为情感驱动过程的理解。

This paper engages with shame in mathematics education as a dynamic, socially constructed "force in motion" that affects individuals' learning and identities. Drawing on pre-service teachers' narratives, it explores how shame takes shape in classroom interactions, institutional practices, and cultural expectations of mathematical competence. Shame manifests through bodily responses such as trembling hands or blushing and is intensified by public evaluations, hierarchical classroom structures, and the societal perception of mathematics as a measure of intelligence. Rather than viewing shame solely as a negative emotion to be overcome, this paper frames it as a transformative force that circulates through human and non-human elements—teachers’ gazes, posted scores, and peer judgments—reconfiguring students’ engagement with mathematics. The discussion centers on two key questions: how pre-service teachers narrate their experiences of shame and how these experiences shape their mathematical identities. By reframing shame as a dynamic and relational phenomenon rather than an isolated emotional response, this study offers new insights into its role in shaping mathematical experiences.

本文研究羞耻在数学教育中作为一种动态的、社会建构的“运动中的力量”，影响个人的学习和身份认同。利用职前教师的叙述，它探讨了羞耻如何在课堂互动、制度实践和对数学能力的文化期望中形成。羞耻感通过身体反应表现出来，如手颤抖或脸红，并因公共评价、等级教室结构和社会对数学作为智力衡量标准的看法而加剧。本文并没有将羞耻感仅仅视为一种需要克服的消极情绪，而是将羞耻感视为一种变革力量，这种力量通过人类和非人类因素——教师的目光、公布的分数和同伴的评价——来循环，重新配置学生对数学的参与。讨论集中在两个关键问题上：职前教师如何叙述他们的羞耻经历，以及这些经历如何塑造他们的数学身份。通过将羞耻感重新定义为一种动态的关系现象，而不是孤立的情绪反应，本研究为羞耻感在塑造数学经验中的作用提供了新的见解。

Cross-regional migration has become a defining reality for many Chinese families, reshaping their structures and relationships. This mobility has consequently fueled ongoing discussions about home-making in transitory spaces. This study examines how domestic workers navigate home-making within dual home spaces, employing in-depth interviews and participant observation to capture the intricate and complex realities they face daily. Findings reveal that both the employer's home and the rural home encompass distinct but interconnected material and emotional dimensions of home-making. The differences in domestic workers' roles, responsibilities, and obligations across these spaces lead to varied home-making strategies that encompass not only material management but also relational adjustment, emotional maintenance, and identity negotiation. By presenting vivid cases, this study highlights the lived emotional experiences of this migrant group and critically examines the evolving significance of family bonds, identity, and emotional work within the unique context of social transformation and migration in China.

跨地区移民已经成为许多中国家庭的现实，重塑了他们的家庭结构和家庭关系。因此，这种流动性引发了关于在临时空间中建造家园的持续讨论。本研究探讨了家庭佣工如何在双重家庭空间中进行家庭制作，采用深度访谈和参与性观察来捕捉他们每天面临的错综复杂的现实。研究结果表明，雇主的家和农村的家都包含了不同的，但相互关联的物质和情感层面的家庭。在这些空间中，家政工人的角色、责任和义务的差异导致了不同的家政策略，不仅包括物质管理，还包括关系调整、情感维护和身份协商。通过展示生动的案例，本研究突出了这一流动群体的生活情感经历，并批判性地审视了在中国社会转型和移民的独特背景下，家庭纽带、身份和情感工作的演变意义。

This study examines how shame operates within the caporalato system in southern Italy, influencing the exploitation of migrant labor and stifling resistance. Drawing on the narratives of migrant workers from West Africa and other regions, the research explores how shame functions not only as a consequence of oppression, but also as a mechanism that reinforces conformity and sustains systemic control. Through narrative analysis, the study reveals that shame can result from unmet family expectations, fear of social judgment, and structural inequalities. This fosters isolation and discourages solidarity. Gender-specific vulnerabilities further intensify emotional submissiveness, particularly among women who are economically marginalized and stigmatized. Findings reveal that shame perpetuates subjugation and hinders the capacity for resistance, thus reinforcing systemic exploitation. Understanding and addressing these emotional dynamics is essential to dismantling oppressive labor structures.

本研究考察了羞耻如何在意大利南部的caporalato系统中运作，影响对移民劳工的剥削和抑制抵抗。根据来自西非和其他地区的移民工人的叙述，该研究探讨了羞耻如何不仅作为压迫的结果，而且作为一种加强一致性和维持系统控制的机制。通过叙事分析，该研究揭示了羞耻感可能源于未满足的家庭期望、对社会评判的恐惧和结构性不平等。这助长了孤立，阻碍了团结。性别特有的脆弱性进一步加剧了情感上的顺从，特别是在经济上被边缘化和被污名化的妇女中。调查结果显示，羞耻使征服永久化，阻碍抵抗能力，从而加强了系统性剥削。理解和解决这些情绪动态对于拆除压迫性劳动结构至关重要。

The translation of emotion in letters on the communist era 论共产主义时代书信中的情感翻译

Research into the interplay between translation and emotion has suggested that transferring texts from one language into another represents not only a cognitive process but also an emotional one (Hubscher-Davidson, 2017; Koskinen, 2020). Drawing on this claim, my paper focuses on the translation of emotionality in communist-era letters, adding thus a historical perspective to the “affective turn” in Translation Studies (Hubscher-Davidson, 2021). Employing an autoethnographic approach, I will mobilize my personal experiences to reflect on my affects in translation and on the translation of affects. To this end, I focus on my translation from Romanian into English of five letters sent from communist Romania to Radio Free Europe (RFE) in Munich in the 1980s. They are extracted from the book Ultimul deceniu comunist: scrisori către Radio Europa Liberă, 1986–1989, vol II (2014; The Last Communist Decade: Letters to Radio Free Europe, 1986–1989). My analysis of the translated corpus engages with the concepts of ‘affective labour’ (Koskinen, 2020) and ‘affective agency’ (Finn, 2013) to reflect on the problematics of emotions in translation. The results underline the effectiveness and adequacy of a literal strategy that remains close to the cadences and emotional vibrations of the letters.

对翻译与情感之间相互作用的研究表明，将文本从一种语言转换为另一种语言不仅是一个认知过程，也是一个情感过程（Hubscher-Davidson, 2017; Koskinen, 2020）。基于这一观点，我的论文将重点放在共产主义时代信件中的情感翻译上，从而为翻译研究中的“情感转向”增加了一个历史视角（Hubscher-Davidson, 2021）。我将运用自我民族志的方法，运用我的个人经历来反思我在翻译中的情感以及情感的翻译。为此，我着重于把共产主义的罗马尼亚在1980年代写给慕尼黑自由欧洲电台（RFE）的五封信从罗马尼亚语翻译成英语。它们摘自《最终的十年共产主义：自由欧洲电台，1986-1989年，第二卷》（2014年；《最后的共产主义十年：给自由欧洲电台的信，1986-1989年）。我对翻译语料库的分析涉及“情感劳动”（Koskinen, 2020）和“情感代理”（Finn, 2013）的概念，以反思翻译中的情感问题。研究结果强调了文字策略的有效性和充分性，这种策略仍然接近于字母的节奏和情感波动。

Queer spaces and embodied archives: Ambivalent memories of Dublin's Hirschfeld centre 酷儿空间和具体化的档案：都柏林赫希菲尔德中心的矛盾记忆

On St. Patrick's Day in 1979, the Hirschfeld Centre opened its doors at 10 Fownes St in Dublin and became one of the most significant institutions in queer Irish history. Despite operating for only eight years, the political, social and cultural activities of the Hirschfeld became an important site for the development of queer Irish culture. In this article, we argue that, in the decades since its closure after a fire in 1987, the Hirschfeld has functioned as a site of individual and collective remembering, focusing the often-competing memories of people who spent time there and demonstrating the potentially contentious fault lines that can inform memory, identity and place. Drawing upon interviews with community members who experienced the Hirschfeld Centre during its operation, the research team developed a strategy of ‘close and distant listening'. The approach reflected the practical necessity of differing geographical locations and yet, at the same time, rhymed with the subject matter of the research: disjunctive temporalities and dislocated spatialities. The research team's methodology points toward the diversity of ways to recognize emotions associated with remembering queer spaces and offers an ethical approach acknowledging the researchers' affective and geographical positionality.

1979年的圣帕特里克节，赫希菲尔德中心在都柏林福恩斯街10号开业，成为爱尔兰酷儿历史上最重要的机构之一。赫希菲尔德的政治、社会和文化活动，尽管只运营了八年，却成为爱尔兰酷儿文化发展的重要场所。在这篇文章中，我们认为，在1987年大火后的几十年里，赫希菲尔德博物馆作为个人和集体记忆的场所，集中了在那里度过时光的人们经常相互竞争的记忆，并展示了可能存在争议的断层线，这些断层线可以为记忆、身份和地点提供信息。通过对在赫希菲尔德中心运营期间经历过的社区成员的采访，研究小组制定了“近距离倾听”的策略。这种方法反映了不同地理位置的实际必要性，但同时也与研究的主题一致：分离的时间性和错位的空间性。研究小组的方法指出了识别与记忆酷儿空间相关的情感的方法的多样性，并提供了一种承认研究人员的情感和地理位置的伦理方法。

Reflections on carrying out forced migration research: Anti-colonisation, discomfort and ‘staying with the trouble’ 开展强迫移民研究的思考：反殖民、不适与“与麻烦相伴”

Research has shown that refugee populations, as with many other ‘subjects’ of research, who have the most to gain, and lose, from research conducted about them, are excluded from shaping this research. Beyond this, it has been argued that research on forced migration can reinforce oppressive and colonial power structures through objectifying and dehumanising the experiences of people who are forced to migrate. This reflective article explores the personal discomfort of a white European researcher in the field of forced migration and sense of complicity in reinforcing colonial power structures, as well as the challenges of advancing an anti-colonial agenda in refugee-related research. More specifically, I reflect on this ethical and emotive dilemma in relation to an ongoing collaborative project carried out with the Scottish Irish Migration Initiative, which aims to ‘build an ethical research culture’ in refugee-related research through challenging and reimagining collaborative practices in this field of research. The article looks at the importance of ‘staying with the trouble’: acknowledging and sitting with these discomforts and challenges, but also using them as tools to better understand oppressive power dynamics and systemic barriers in order to advance a more ethical research culture in refugee-related research.

研究表明，难民人口与许多其他研究“对象”一样，从对他们进行的研究中获得和失去最多的人被排除在形成这项研究之外。除此之外，有人认为，对被迫移民的研究可以通过将被迫移民的经历客观化和非人化来加强压迫和殖民权力结构。这篇反思性的文章探讨了一位欧洲白人研究者在被迫移民领域的个人不适，以及在加强殖民权力结构方面的共谋感，以及在难民相关研究中推进反殖民议程的挑战。更具体地说，我在与苏格兰爱尔兰移民倡议开展的一个正在进行的合作项目中反思了这种道德和情感困境，该项目旨在通过挑战和重新构想这一研究领域的合作实践，在难民相关研究中“建立一种道德研究文化”。这篇文章着眼于“与麻烦同在”的重要性：承认并面对这些不适和挑战，但也将它们作为更好地理解压迫性权力动态和系统障碍的工具，以便在难民相关研究中推进更合乎道德的研究文化。

This paper explores the phenomenon of young urban dwellers in contemporary Vietnam voluntarily relocating to rural farms as a form of affective life-making rather than economic migration or return. Drawing on narrative ethnographic data from two farm communities in mountainous areas in Gia Lai and Da Lat, the study conceptualizes these urban-to-rural transitions as aspirational reorientations shaped by emotional exhaustion, familial disconnection, and desires for a slower, more meaningful life. Building on de Haas's aspiration–capabilities framework and Antonsich's notion of belonging as becoming, the analysis frames rural relocation as a dynamic process of negotiating aspirations, enacting affective labor, and experimenting with new modes of belonging.

本文探讨了当代越南的年轻城市居民自愿搬迁到农村农场的现象，作为一种情感生活的形式，而不是经济移民或回归。该研究利用了嘉莱和大叻山区两个农业社区的民族志叙事数据，将这些从城市到农村的转变定义为情感枯竭、家庭破裂以及对更慢、更有意义的生活的渴望所形成的理想重新定位。在德·哈斯的愿望-能力框架和安东西奇的归属感逐渐形成的概念的基础上，分析将农村搬迁作为一个谈判愿望、制定情感劳动和尝试新的归属感模式的动态过程。看护、讲故事和缓慢的日常生活等做法成为在规范的城市轨迹之外重新获得代理和重新配置自我的策略。这些情感策略反映了更广泛的情感调整，这些调整支撑着年轻人脱离占主导地位的城市未来。本文以全球南方自愿农村转型背后的情感逻辑为中心，为关于成长后青年流动和情感地理的新兴辩论做出了贡献。

Evoking emotions such as empathy has been an effective strategy for social movements to garner public support. Mobilizing emotional geopolitics, this article examines the work emotions are expected to play and indeed do in spaces for transnational solidarity against geopolitical violence. I examine the ‘Butterfly Peace Trips’ which are organized by the Korean Council for Justice and Remembrance, a well-established organization in South Korea seeking redress for Korean survivors of wartime sexual slavery (otherwise known as ‘comfort women’). In these trips, Korean supporters of the ‘comfort women’ movement visit sites in Vietnam that memorialize the Vietnam War and meet the survivors. Interviews with organizers and participants and content analysis results reveal that the Peace Trips are designed to elicit visceral feelings that motivate participants to be involved with the redress movement. Findings also show that even emotions that facilitate solidarity, such as guilt, love, and familiarity, can inadvertently reify geopolitical logics while depoliticizing power structures. Surprisingly, emotions that might not neatly translate into action, such as dread, can productively challenge taken-for-granted discourses in geopolitics. Thus, I argue that emotional experiences do not provide a straightforward path for redressing war violence but help expose the banal logics of war-making.

唤起共鸣等情绪一直是社会运动获得公众支持的有效策略。动员情感地缘政治，本文考察了在跨国团结反对地缘政治暴力的空间中，情感预期发挥的作用和实际发挥的作用。我研究了“蝴蝶和平之旅”，这是由韩国正义与纪念委员会组织的，这是一个在韩国建立良好的组织，旨在为韩国战时性奴役（也被称为“慰安妇”）的幸存者寻求赔偿。韩国的“慰安妇运动”支持者们访问越南的越南战争纪念场所，与幸存者见面。对组织者和参与者的采访以及内容分析结果显示，和平之旅旨在激发参与者参与补救运动的内心感受。研究结果还表明，即使是有助于团结的情绪，如内疚、爱和熟悉，也会在权力结构去政治化的同时，无意中使地缘政治逻辑具体化。令人惊讶的是，那些可能无法转化为行动的情绪，比如恐惧，可以有效地挑战地缘政治中被视为理所当然的话语。因此，我认为情感体验并不能为纠正战争暴力提供一条直接的途径，而是有助于揭露战争制造的陈腐逻辑。
