“…The canvases are a set of the visualisations of landscape cultures in the Lake District, these have been a response to historical and canonised narrations. In this regard I have also sought to trouble the affectual approach to social science research, by insisting that 'race' and power figure in the possibilities of affectual encounter, but also form social identities and in turn, social landscapes (Hemmings, 2005) by the 'mobile' English, migrants, and communities of visitors that form the maelstrom of material practices that carve out the modern Lake District experience. Wordsworth in his own guide to the Lake District describes it as being 'a sort of national property, in which every man has a right and an interest who has an eye to perceive and a heart to enjoy' (quoted in Matless, 1998, p251).…”

“…When fat bodies are so habitually made the object of affective transfer rather than its subjects (Hemmings, 2005), the unexpected freedoms of guilt-free consumption, the pleasures of bodily solidity and the liberation from shamefilled daily encounters with scales all signal a re-orientation, however ambivalent towards fat constituting what (ardy describes as new tissues of affective experience )n short the materiality of a fat body that is experienced as amazing is very differently constituted to both the playfully wobbled body of the heroically (fake) fat swimmer and the abjectly (real) fat body that is the target of the war on obesity An analytical focus on the affective dimensions of embodied experiences of swimming fatness highlights the moral and ideological assumptions about fatness that seep out in the emerging spaces between the entrenched certainties of the contemporary hatred of fat.…”

‘You can’t be too vain to gain if you want to swim the Channel’: Marathon swimming and the construction of heroic fatness

The fat body and the sporting body are conventionally understood as mutually exclusive, coming together only in sport-based weight-loss interventions. However, the sport of marathon swimming relies upon body fat as a performance advantage, and weight maintenance and gain are a common element of the training process. The concept of ‘heroic fatness’ offers (some) swimmers a means of negotiating this anomalous sporting embodiment, positioning swimming fat as an undesirable necessity, nobly, but provisionally, borne. The paper argues that this construction is made possible through the construction of swimming fat as fake and as separate from the self. However, the paper unsettles this ideal-type of heroic fatness through the identification of the exclusions upon which it relies, both in terms of gender, and in relation to those who are already fat at the start of training. This opens up the possibility of more ambivalent modes of fatness that run counter to both heroic fatness and its unheroic counterpart – the very ‘real’ fatness that is the target of instrumentalist sport-based weight-loss interventions.

“…El afecto, como él lo dice, "escapa del confinamiento" (2002, p. 228 (Sedgwick & Fran, 2003). Como lo cuenta Clare Hemmings (2005), la militancia Deuleziana de Massumi por un lado y la influencia de Tomkins en Sedgwick por el otro; impulsaron a Guiles Deleuze y Silvan Tomkins como una pareja poco probable que domina el imaginario contemporáneo del afecto en la teoría cultural 5 .…”

En la última década los estudios del afecto y las emociones han cobrado relevancia en las ciencias sociales. Esto no es simplemente una directriz de moda, es un indicador simultáneo de las modificaciones en la vida pública y de la experiencia subjetiva; a partir del cual se está transformando la producción de conocimiento. Tal tendencia ha sido conocida en la academia sajona como The Affective Turn, aquí traducido como "El giro afectivo" y que hasta el momento no ha incursionado como tal en la literatura de las ciencias sociales escrita en castellano. Este artículo dibuja un panorama singular de las discusiones en torno a los estudios sociales contemporáneos del afecto y la emoción, vertebrado a partir de algunas de sus expresiones en la academia contemporánea. Una y otra vez nos han ofrecido promesas. Propuestas seductoras que a lo largo de la historia de las ciencias sociales se han presentado como movimientos revolucionarios en las formas de producción de conocimiento. "Giros" en la manera de pensar e investigar sobre la realidad social. Cada uno de estos arrojó su propuesta para re-pensar la realidad social, y a su vez reconfiguraron la producción de conocimiento en varios niveles. Estos cambios han sido articulados en base a la apuesta por un "nuevo" lector de la vida social. Un elemento que funcionaba como affair de la producción de conocimiento y que, con la mejor intención prometía articular de mejor manera la explicación de la vida social. Palabras clave GiroEste artículo ofrece una versión particular de una serie de trabajos y propuestas que han tomado fuerza en los últimos años dentro de la academia sajona, y que se han identificado bajo el nombre de Affective Turn, que aquí traduciremos como "El giro Afectivo". Éste se ha definido principalmente por dos urgencias teóricas: el interés en la emocionalización de la vida pública 1 , y el esfuerzo por reconfigurar la producción de conocimiento encaminado a profundizar en dicha emocionalización. Así el afecto y la emoción aparecen como el nuevo affair que está seduciendo con fuerza a las ciencias sociales, 1 Ejemplos breves de algunas expresiones de la vida pública que se están estructurando en función de las emociones: movimiento de los 'Indignados' en España o los discursos de la última campaña presidencial de la izquierda Mexicana sobre 'La república Amorosa'
