| "Scripted Affects, Branded Selves : Television, Subjectivity, and Capitalism in 1990s Japan" |
| "In Scripted Affects Branded Selves Gabriella Lukacs analyzes the development of a new primetime serial called trendy drama as the Japanese television industry's ingenious response to market fragmentation Much like the HBO hit Sex and the City trendy dramas feature well-heeled young sophisticates enjoying consumer-oriented lifestyles while managing their unruly love lives Integrating a political-economic analysis of television production with reception research Lukacs suggests that the trendy drama marked a shift in the Japanese television industry from offering story-driven entertainment to producing lifestyle-oriented programming She interprets the new televisual preoccupation with consumer trends not as a sign of the medium's downfall but as a savvy strategy to appeal to viewers who increasingly demand entertainment that feels more personal than mass-produced fare After all what the producers of trendy dramas realized in the late 1980s was that taste and lifestyle were sources of identification that could be manipulated to satisfy mass and niche demands more easily than could conventional marketing criteria such as generation or gender Lukacs argues that by capitalizing on the semantic fluidity of the notion of lifestyle commercial television networks were capable of uniting viewers into new affective alliances that in turn helped them bury anxieties over changing class relations in the wake of the prolonged economic recession"

| "Cruel Optimism" |
| "A relation of cruel optimism exists when something you desire is actually an obstacle to your flourishing Offering bold new ways of conceiving the present Lauren Berlant describes the cruel optimism that has prevailed since the 1980s as the social-democratic promise of the postwar period in the United States and Europe has retracted People have remained attached to unachievable fantasies of the good life-with its promises of upward mobility job security political and social equality and durable intimacy-despite evidence that liberal-capitalist societies can no longer be counted on to provide opportunities for individuals to make their lives add up to somethingArguing that the historical present is perceived affectively before it is understood in any other way Berlant traces affective and aesthetic responses to the dramas of adjustment that unfold amid talk of precarity contingency and crisis She suggests that our stretched-out present is characterized by new modes of temporality and she explains why trauma theory-with its focus on reactions to the exceptional event that shatters the ordinary-is not useful for understanding the ways that people adjust over time once crisis itself has become ordinary Cruel Optimism is a remarkable affective history of the present"

| "Indian communities have existed in the Gulf emirate of Dubai for more than a century Since the 1970s workers from South Asia have flooded into the emirate enabling Dubai's huge construction boom They now compose its largest noncitizen population Though many migrant families are middle-class and second- third- or even fourth-generation residents Indians cannot become legal citizens of the United Arab Emirates Instead they are all classified as temporary guest workers In Impossible Citizens Neha Vora draws on her ethnographic research in Dubai's Indian-dominated downtown to explore how Indians live suspended in a state of permanent temporarinessWhile their legal status defines them as perpetual outsiders Indians are integral to the Emirati nation-state and its economy At the same time Indians-even those who have established thriving diasporic neighborhoods in the emirate-disavow any interest in formally belonging to Dubai and instead consider India their home Vora shows how these multiple and conflicting logics of citizenship and belonging contribute to new understandings of contemporary citizenship migration and national identity ones that differ from liberal democratic models and that highlight how Indians rather than Emiratis are the quintessential-yet impossible-citizens of Dubai"
