“…There is now a burgeoning literature on affect in urban studies. Kobayashi, Preston, and Murnaghan (2011) look at how affect is produced from and through the experiences of people in place; they explore the sense of place produced by migrants from Hong Kong into Vancouver and Toronto. Bomfim and Urrutia (2005) investigate the feelings and emotions of a sample of people in Barcelona and Sao Paulo about their city.…”

In this paper we present data from a recent survey of residents' satisfaction levels with a range of urban public goods and government performance in Cali, Colombia. The more affluent report higher levels of satisfaction, especially with regard to security, public space, utilities and government performance, compared to the poor. The low scoring on satisfaction with civic norms and government performance, especially amongst the poor, undermines the notion of an aspirations paradox, suggests a lack of social capital and distrust of government, and indicates a social capital deficit. Our survey results indicate that strengthening the bonds of social capital, improving urban public space and working to improve public safety should be important areas of concern for urban and national governments

“…(Skeldon 1994;Mar 2005). With the 1997 handover of Hong Kong to China, the migration flow dropped abruptly, but not before these migrants transformed both Hong Kong and their Canadian destination cities of Vancouver and Toronto (Mitchell 2004;Preston, Siemiatycki, and Kobayashi 2006;Lo 2008;Ley 2010;Kobayashi, Preston, and Murnaghan 2011).…”

“…We conceive emotions as that part of the process where we consciously 'grapple' with our 'feelings', to reflexively consider their part in underpinning our work as political. Following Kobayashi, Preston & Murnaghan (2011), we do not suggest that such a process is linear or comprehensive, yet it is important, along with the recognition of its imperfection. Depictions of our emotions in the following narratives do not presume that these terms should travel easily across cultures or languages.…”

This paper aims to better understand the role of emotions in academia, and their part in producing, and challenging, an increasingly normalized neoliberal academy. It unfolds from two narratives that foreground emotions in and across academic spaces and practices, to critically explore how knowledges and positions are constructed and circulated. It then moves to consider these issues through the lens of care as a political stance towards being and becoming academics in neoliberal times. Our aim is to contribute to the burgeoning literature on emotional geographies, explicitly bringing this work into conversation with resurgent debates surrounding an ethic of care, as part of a politic of critiquing individualism and managerialism in (and beyond) the academy. We consider the ways in which neoliberal university structures circulate particular affects, prompting emotions such as desire and anxiety, and the internalisation of competition and audit as embodied scholars. Our narratives exemplify how attendant emotions and affect can reverberate and be further reproduced through university cultures, and diffuse across personal and professional lives.We argue that emotions in academia matter, mutually co-producing everyday social relations and practices at and across all levels. We are interested in their political implications, and how neoliberal norms can be shifted through practices of caring-with.
