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。

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。

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 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。

Hierarchies of desirability in home care: gender, ethnicity, and the labour of intimacy 家庭护理中可取性的等级：性别、种族和亲密劳动

Chiara Giordano

In Western Europe, the home-based care sector has become increasingly dependent on the labour of migrant women, reflecting broader dynamics of the globalisation of care. This transnational redistribution of reproductive labour produces a new international division of care, marked by intersecting hierarchies of gender, race, and national origin. Within this context, migrant care workers are differentially valued and categorised – often along implicit lines of desirability.

This article examines how such hierarchies are constructed and negotiated across three spaces of interaction: (i) families and older care recipients, who produce racialised and gendered typologies of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ workers through their everyday affective and moral judgements; (ii) care agencies and intermediaries, which mediate and sometimes reinforce these preferences; and (iii) migrant care workers themselves, who navigate, internalise, or resist these classifications in their daily practices.

Particular attention is paid to how proximity, emotional labour, and bodily presence become sites of symbolic and moral evaluation, producing a hierarchy of desirability grounded in both colonial legacies and the affective regimes of intimate labour. By analysing these dynamics in the context of elder care in Belgium, the article contributes to debates on affective governance, intimate bordering, and the emotional politics of migration and labour.

在西欧，以家庭为基础的护理部门越来越依赖移徙妇女的劳动，反映出护理全球化的更广泛动态。这种生殖劳动的跨国再分配产生了一种新的国际分工，其特征是性别、种族和国籍的交叉等级。在这种情况下，移徙护理工作者的价值和分类是不同的-通常沿着可取性的隐含线。本文研究了这种等级制度是如何在三个互动空间中构建和协商的：(i)家庭和老年护理接受者，他们通过日常情感和道德判断产生“好”和“坏”工人的种族化和性别类型学；（ii）护理机构和中介，它们调解并有时加强这些偏好；（三）移徙护理工作者本身，他们在日常实践中驾驭、内化或抵制这些分类。特别关注的是邻近、情感劳动和身体存在如何成为象征性和道德评价的场所，在殖民遗产和亲密劳动的情感制度的基础上产生了可取性的等级制度。通过分析比利时老年人护理背景下的这些动态，本文有助于讨论情感治理，亲密边界以及移民和劳动力的情感政治。

A ghost ethnography amidst violence: The researcherʼs body as a sensing agent 暴力中的幽灵民族志：研究者的身体作为感应媒介

In this paper, following the Russian occupation of Crimea in March 2014, I present an analysis of the peninsulaʼs wounded semiotic landscapes and develop an approach of ghost ethnography. Building on my ethnographic fieldwork in the region back in 2017 and 2019—after Qırım-Crimeaʼs annexation but before the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine—I trace the signs of massive ideological transformation but also instances of erasure that followed as Russia deprived its public spaces of the Ukrainian present.

By introducing an ethnographic vignette from the field and discussing previous research on absence, place, and affect, I develop an approach to study vibrant voids, affectively charged and haunting traces of violence. Combined with photographs of the semiotic landscapes, residentsʼ insights, and the researcherʼs fieldnote observations, an ethnography of ghosts centres the researcherʼs body that not only records and notices, but also senses the ghosts that outlive vehement acts. In this way, approaching the researcherʼs body as a sensing agent that facilitates ways of knowing in settings where violence enacts absences, a ghost ethnography grasps the phenomena that seem missing, thus shedding light on knowledges that otherwise remain in the shadows.

在本文中，在2014年3月俄罗斯占领克里米亚之后，我对半岛受伤的符号学景观进行了分析，并发展了一种幽灵民族志的方法。在2017年和2019年（在Qırım-Crimea被吞并之后，但在俄罗斯全面入侵乌克兰之前），基于我在该地区的民族志田野调查，我发现了大规模意识形态转变的迹象，但也发现了随着俄罗斯剥夺乌克兰当下的公共空间，随之而来的抹除现象。通过介绍一个来自该领域的民族志小插曲，并讨论之前关于缺席、地点和情感的研究，我开发了一种研究充满活力的空洞、充满情感的暴力痕迹和挥之不去的暴力痕迹的方法。结合符号学景观的照片、居民的见解和研究者的田野笔记观察，一个关于鬼魂的民族志以研究者的身体为中心，不仅记录和注意到鬼魂，而且还能感知到那些比激烈行为更长寿的鬼魂。通过这种方式，研究人员的身体就像一种感知媒介，在暴力造成缺失的环境中，这种感知媒介促进了了解的方式，鬼魂人种学抓住了似乎缺失的现象，从而揭示了那些留在阴影中的知识。

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。

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 state-led push to expand tourism markets in Arabian Peninsula states has spurred a transformation of local landscapes through the development of infrastructure, or the built environment that shapes economies, communication, and ways of life. This article examines how such projects are experienced by those who live alongside them, arguing that infrastructure becomes a site for affectively remembering past lifeways that haunt the present and produce alternative meanings. This “spectral” dimension to infrastructure is investigated through case studies in Muscat, Oman and AlUla, Saudi Arabia, informed by participant observation, interviews, and discourse analysis. In Muscat, luxury hotel development has enclosed the formerly public coastline and today stimulates memories of past lifeways, while remaining beaches are haunted by rumors of future privatization. In AlUla, the construction of fences around heritage and ecological sites has excluded some residents while fostering narratives of environmental restoration. In each case, infrastructure becomes a site where the past is sustained in the present, generating a spectral landscape wherein new developments also mark an absent or negated lifeway. Attunement to the spectral “registers” of a landscape may offer a grounds for resistance, revealing counter-futures that oppose the logics of extraction.

阿拉伯半岛国家主导的扩大旅游市场的努力，通过发展基础设施或塑造经济、通信和生活方式的建筑环境，刺激了当地景观的转变。本文探讨了生活在这些项目旁边的人们是如何体验这些项目的，认为基础设施成为一个场所，可以有效地回忆过去困扰着现在的生活方式，并产生另一种意义。通过参与观察、访谈和话语分析，通过在阿曼马斯喀特和沙特阿拉伯阿尔乌拉的案例研究，对基础设施的“光谱”维度进行了调查。在马斯喀特，豪华酒店的发展已经包围了以前的公共海岸线，今天激发了过去生活方式的记忆，而剩下的海滩则被未来私有化的谣言所困扰。在AlUla，在遗产和生态遗址周围建造的围栏将一些居民排除在外，同时促进了环境恢复的叙述。在每一种情况下，基础设施都成为过去延续到现在的场所，产生了一种光谱景观，其中新的发展也标志着一种缺失或被否定的生活方式。对景观的光谱“记录”的调谐可能为抵抗提供了一个基础，揭示了反对提取逻辑的反未来。

This article examines eco-grief as a dimension of environmental (in)justice by looking at the experiences of small farmers in Portugal and Romania. Integrating insights from climate studies, ecopsychology and political ecology, we explore the socio-emotional impacts of environmental changes and conflicts such as land grabbing, industrial agriculture and economic marginalization. Using qualitative methods our study illustrates the grievance and grief in relation to the lived experience of rural loss - from animals and water infrastructure to dignity and belonging. We argue that rural eco-grief is a form of disenfranchised grief for the lifeworlds and shattered dreams of rurality, as a site of valuable planetary socio-ecological relations and connections. Our research identified five types of rural (in)tangible loss that prompt eco-grief: solace, social fabric, purpose and agency, dignity, order in the world (familiarity and predictability). This work contributes to a broader understanding of climate loss and damage by highlighting the embodied distress of rural communities.

本文通过观察葡萄牙和罗马尼亚小农的经历，将生态悲痛作为环境正义的一个维度进行了考察。结合气候研究、生态心理学和政治生态学的见解，我们探讨了环境变化和冲突（如土地掠夺、工业化农业和经济边缘化）对社会情感的影响。我们的研究使用定性方法说明了与农村损失的生活经验相关的不满和悲伤-从动物和水利基础设施到尊严和归属感。我们认为，农村生态悲伤是一种被剥夺权利的悲伤形式，是对生活世界和乡村梦想破灭的悲伤，作为一个有价值的地球社会生态关系和联系的场所。我们的研究确定了五种引起生态悲伤的农村有形损失：安慰、社会结构、目的和代理、尊严、世界秩序（熟悉性和可预测性）。这项工作通过突出农村社区的具体痛苦，有助于更广泛地了解气候损失和损害。
