Making the Affective Turn: The Importance of Feelings in Theory, Praxis, and Citizenship
2018
Overview
There is a thirst for meaning in theory, praxis, and citizenship that knowledge cannot quench. It is time for an affective turn in public administration scholarship, toward an appreciation for the pairing of cognition and emotion, rather than a reliance on cognition alone. For citizens to be engaged with government, they must care about it. It is not spreadsheets that cause people to love their country or hate it; it is feelings. Societal faultlines will not be healed by Big Data. The feeling that citizens have for their government must be both the beginning point and end point of the citizen-state encounter. The emotive component to governance is its connective tissue and the articles in this special issue demonstrate how it can inform theory, research, and practice.
