“…However, it is crucial to avoid generating 'emotional empathy without historical understanding' (Witcomb 2003, 140) or, even more importantly, causing 'emotional avoidance' and 'disengagement' (Smith 2010(Smith , 2011. Moreover, 'affective registers' do never operate in isolation but are themselves racialised (Tolia-Kelly 2007), and the body is always embedded in narratives of culture, history and biography (Schorch 2012). While the IMM successfully reframed historical understandings among students with a high level of language proficiency, it struggled to communicate historical narratives to students with English as their Second language.…”

The social agency of museums in countering prejudices and fostering respect for differences is increasingly recognised and empirical research has begun to illuminate the impacts of exhibitions devoted to 'difficult' subjects on audiences. This paper draws on an ongoing research project conducted by two Australian universities in collaboration with the Immigration Museum Melbourne aimed at understanding the role of the Identity: Yours, Mine, Ours exhibition in countering racism and increasing the acceptance of differences among Australian high school students. The paper focuses on narrative interviews with students which offer insights into how differences are experienced and prejudices become negotiated through processes of meaning-making and embodied engagements. The empirical evidence indicates that the exhibition moves beyond the orchestration of an abstract tolerance by unsettling 'the Self' and destabilising stereotyped interpretations of 'the Other'. Identity: Yours, Mine, Ours creates a place and space of encounter in which differences are humanised, thus facilitating understandings of broader contexts through individual experiences. At the same time, the research findings suggest that the life worlds of students, their personal backgrounds and schools, are intertwined with their interpretive engagements with the exhibition and need to be considered for museum practices and further research.

“…They themselves are ordered by power geometries (see Tolia-Kelly 2007after Massey 1993). As Ling (2000, 242) pointed out in an earlier critique, the set of narratives underlying discussions of globalization 'recalls earlier relations between a colonial self and its native Other'.…”

Drawing on feminist scholarship, I call for an emotional geopolitics of fear which connects political processes and everyday emotional topographies in a less hierarchical, more enabling relationship. I employ conscientization as a tool to inform the reconceptualisation of global fears within critical geopolitics, and to move forward epistemological practice and our relationship as scholars with social change.

“…The use of photo-voice was stimulated by recent calls for more innovative methods to trace the interplay among the environmental, social and symbolic dimensions of place and place-making (Conradson, 2005;Cummins et al, 2007;Fogel et al, 2008;Macintyre et al, 2002). Visual methods such as photo-voice are particularly suited to understanding people's experiences of place, with emerging evidence suggesting that they are especially well suited to tracing the embodied, material and affective dimensions of place and belonging (Pink, 2006;Tolia-Kelly, 2007). Consistent with the photo-voice method, I asked participants to take photographs of local places that they particularly liked and/or felt attached to.…”

a b s t r a c tIn the literature, hope has been mainly analyzed as an emotional state linked to temporality. This stance has prompted criticism of hope as projecting promises, which may never be fulfilled, into an indefinite future. Whilst this is partly true, this paper aims to enlarge previous approaches by illustrating hope's connection with spatiality. The paper examines 'hope' among Italian families of Ecuadorian origin, through analysis of affective states produced by the place to which they have migrated. Hope emerges as a dynamic relation between the resources one has and the place one is in. The spatial dimension of hope mitigates criticisms of its evanescence; the paper emphasizes the political aspects of hope as a resource for migrants to realize their agency and interact with the world.
