"Affective Methodologies redefines the way we can work with affect in our research assemblages. In a considered and timely application of affect theory to qualitative research practices, Knudsen and Stage have brought together a diverse collection of scholars. From defining figures in the field such as Blackman and Gibbs, to new voices including To and Kølvraa, this book provides a much needed consolidation of the existing trajectories of scholarship on and of affect while opening new ways forward for qualitative research." - Anna Hickey-Moody, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK
