Affect in Media and Communication Studies: Potentials and Assemblages
After a general mapping of the different understandings of affect, this article focuses on two aspects of a Deleuze-Guattarian understanding of affect which are of particular relevance for media and communication studies. The first is understanding affect as potential. It is through the forces of encounter that bodies are affected and that these affections then can be turned into action, into their capacity to affect. The second is understanding the perpetual becoming that takes place through continual encounters between bodies; with each encounter, the body changes, however slightly and subtly. The concept of assemblage that allows one to grasp these dynamics and complexities is discussed as an approach towards a much more complex theoretical grounding for processes of agency and power. Working with affect in media and communication studies, a three-fold strategy will be presented: to analyse how media generate affects and capitalise on them; to analyse what media do—in the sense of mobilizing potential; to analyse phenomena of mediated communication as assemblages. The article ends with challenges and new paths for conducting research on affect.

Messy Europe : Crisis, Race and Nation-state in a Postcolonial World
\"Using the economic crisis as a starting point, Messy Europe offers a critical new look at the issues of race, gender, and national understandings of self and other in contemporary Europe. It highlights and challenges historical associations of Europe with whiteness and modern civilization, and asks how these associations are re-envisioned, re-inscribed, or contested in an era characterized by crises of different kinds. This important collection provides a nuanced exploration of how racialized identities in various European regions are played out in the crisis context, and asks what work \"crisis talk\" does, considering how it motivates public feelings and shapes bodies, boundaries and communities.\"--Provided by publisher.

Policing Crisis in Austrian Crime Fiction
What is it about crime fiction that makes it so popular? Not only does this genre dominate the book market in the Western world; it has also captured television, which airs crime and police series around the clock. Why is crime fiction set in Germany the fictional TV genre of choice for those aged fourteen and older, ranking third after news and local information programs (Statista 2015)?

Introduction
The economic crisis in Europe at the launch of the new millennium has coincided with a wider sense of crisis in other dimensions of social life. Economic perturbations have affected European countries in radically different ways, generating a growing sense of a future disrupted. They have also raised sharp debates about the relationships between European countries and their membership in the category “Europe”—debates that have intersected with past inequalities and racisms, both within and outside the continent.
In this book, we use the economic crisis as a starting point to look at wider issues of race, gender, and national
