Recorded in person, Constant Bonard speaks with Professor Emanuela Ceva (University of Geneva). Her work invites us to rethink institutions not just as systems of rules, but as spaces shaped by human emotions and personal identities. What happens when those affective dimensions are ignored by institutions? And what changes when we put them at the center? These are some of the questions addressed in her article “The Mixed Affective Fabric of Institutional Dysfunctions: A Human-Centered View” about which we’ll discuss in this episode.
