ANTICIPATION, AFFECTIVE ECONOMIES AND TEMPORALITY IN (POST)CRISIS ICELAND

Summary/Abstract: Neoliberal reconfigurations of Icelandic political economy and the production of new subjectivities in the 1990s led not only to significant social and cultural changes in Iceland, but also prepared a fertile ground for crisis-to-come. The crisis itself was experienced differently, yet, it has also become a significant point of reference on Iceland’s temporal map. Although Iceland is experiencing an economic boom today, an uncertain future is looming into the present. Everyday life matterings, practices and meanings “charge” the atmosphere and become symptoms of another crisis. The article aims to explore and problematise affective anticipation, which unfolds the existing dependencies between past events, present experiences and future-oriented imaginaries.
