Hangtime melancholia, A. Dial, Michael Eric Dyson
ABSTRACT The efforts to capture and render the dunk demand a consideration of hangtime as ‘ghosts and specters’ in the machine of photography, some combination of technical production and a centuries-old visual orientation to the vertical suspension of Black bodies. This paper is divided into two sections. The first presents the dunking ability of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Wilt Chamberlain as being understood through the racialized and sexualized fear of Black men, literal (and corporeal) terrors in the sky. Second, if the photographic impetus for documenting hangtime in the 1960s was understood through a phallic logic of aerial invasion, the following section considers more modern iterations of hangtime where dunkers are no longer thought to be aerial invaders. Now, they are more like celestial or angelic bodies represented through visual allusions to religious iconography. With this work, my goal is exposure, to reverse engineer the technical production of hangtime and provide a long view of processes and materialities of production that foreground the positionality of bodies (who were almost always black) and the men (often white) who documented the dunk’s spectacle.

ABSTRACT This essay develops the concept of the ‘coronasphere’ to grapple with how breath shifts the perceptible extent of the body during a pandemic, and the implications of such a radically altered sense of proximity for the choreography of public movement. Coming into being through an act of perception that is entangled with responsibility to others, the coronasphere is offered as a sensory alternative to fixed-distance models of social distancing approaches to risk, one that overrides the false dichotomy between the seeming stasis of shelter-in-place on the one side, versus ‘freedom’ of movement on the other. Redefining the extent of bodies relationally by the range of their breath has implications for understanding the uneven impacts of COVID-19 in terms of tactile entanglements and the vulnerability to uninvited touch that may violate bodies as individual and impermeable, in particular when the capacity for movement is limited. Ultimately turning to the coherence of such expanded bodies in terms of individual versus communal mobilization through a series of protests, the essay shows how the pandemic can not only reify but challenge the conflation of freedom and mobility, and the sensory ramifications of this in terms of finding new ways to rebuild public life.

ABSTRACT This paper considers the riots and protests that irrupted around the world in the wake of the killing of George Floyd on 25 May 2020. It examines the politics of noise and listening in relation to the growing calls for abolition, asking how we can listen to, and for, an abolitionist imperative. The paper contextualizes the riot as a form of struggle that responds to the crises produced by capitalism in its circulatory phase, specifically the production of racialized surplus populations that are subjected to intensive forms of policing. The riot is figured as a politics of immanence that suggests what Ashon T. Crawley calls ‘otherwise possibilities’. The paper tracks the historical conditions that give rise to riots and follows the noise in the street into platform media and back again in order to theorize the riot as a distinct form of struggle that is organized as well as contagious. Turning to the sonicity of the riot, the noise of this collective formation is figured in metaphysical terms as that which accounts for transformation and possibility – an originary turbulence with no single point of origin that foregrounds the relationality of the world. The paper then elaborates on listening as a crucial modality for generative collectivity and solidarity, developing an abolitionist conception of listening that attunes to relationality of noise and foregrounds anticipation and possibility.

ABSTRACT This article explores the formation and diminishment of collective hope in Vietnam by tracing the Facebook-based circulation, intensification, and attenuation of affective engagement with the Đồng Tâm land dispute in Hanoi from April 2017 to September 2020. The dispute enables us to conceptualize online activism as essentially fueled by collective embodiment of hope, understood as temporalized openness toward the ‘not-yet’ that stretches beyond pre-existing agendas. The magnitude of online activism depends not on the network itself but on how new media facilitate an attunement between the public and the latent force of subaltern dissensus. When such connection was disrupted, political hope faded when it was enveloped by endless crises habituated by the network. With implications in Vietnam and beyond, the article highlights hope as a political affect and a political capacity indispensable in social struggles, which enables us to embrace instead of enclosing precarious possibilities of change.

ABSTRACT We take infrastructure as a ‘keyword’ in foregrounding the production and the reproduction of contemporary capitalism as well as its complexities and contradictions. To tease out the capitalist dynamics of the contemporary moment as infrastructural capitalism, this paper moves beyond a dichotomous constellation of the logic of capital and the territorial logic of power, to argue how a triple logic- capital, power, and culture informs the cultural politics, attempting to simultaneously resolve the economic crisis and glorify China’s fast-speed capitalism. As the vanguard of Chinese infrastructural politics, the high-speed rail spearheads the Chinese spatial economic system towards one that is not an alternative to capitalism but, at best, a variegated form of moving capitalism, which we call infrastructural capitalism. Illuminating the political role of the infrastructural projects in creating invisible social contradictions, this article highlights a wide array of affected working-class masses who take individual and collective actions that result in the reversion of ‘the vanguard’, dissolving the condensation of the materiality of infrastructural capitalism into the global assemblage of unpredictable but inescapable contradictions driving China into global imperial rivalries and class conflicts.

Lauren Berlant, A. Cvetkovich, Deborah B. Gould, M. Boler, Elizabeth Davis
Megan: Elizabeth and I have been working for four years together on questions of emotion, affect, media, and politics. Since 2016, emotion has come to have a new currency in political discussion and we’re curious about how you have reacted to this so-called post-truth phenomenon – the mix of disinformation, crises of trust in institutions, and the overt discussions of emotionality in politics that have been dominating headlines. As someone writing a dissertation on emotion in the 1980s, I can testify to the dearth of scholarship taking a critical approach to emotions and affect at that time. Thankfully, each of your scholarly contributions have opened up trajectories in the study of emotion and affect for generations of scholars. We hope you might each talk about how you came to the study of emotion and affect.
