概要 Considering politics of identity under globalization, we need to focus on people’s emotions that can politically affect others. As the author points out, although ideology has caused conflicts of nationalism and history, now, the power of affect has replaced ideology as the power of making history. The recent dynamic changes in world affairs require us to reexamine the disciplinary discourses of culture and identity politics. To understand world affairs, cultural studies must observe the production of affect that may depend on cultural differences and further see the irrationalities that cause such affect. “Affect” and emotions are keys to understanding our experiences in the digital culture. This paper uses psychological findings on emotions and theories of affect (fear in particular) to determine what affect can do and how it can form our cultures through digital media. Subsequently, the study shifts its focus to how identity politics are developed in this digital era.
