We live in times when emotions and affect can no longer be understood as peripheral elements of human experience, much less relegated to the field of individual subjectivity. Instead, they assert themselves as central and constitutive forces of action, language, learning, and social relationships. It is in this direction that the proposal of this thematic volume of The ESPecialist is situated, anchored in the so-called "affective turn" in Applied Linguistics (AL), to explore its theoretical, epistemological, and political unfoldings across different contexts of research, teaching, and professional development.
