Roberto E. Barrios is an associate professor of Anthropology at Southern University of Illinois, Carbondale and author of the book, Governing Affect: Neoliberalism and Disaster Reconstruction. He is an expert on how people, governments and NGOs respond to disasters.

His book is about the affect and emotions of disaster victims and then it looks at how neoliberalism plays a role. It caught my attention because it made me think of Naomi Klein's book, Shock Doctrine, and her ideas on disaster capitalism.

It seems clear that disaster "recovery" efforts can make life worse for people. "The disaster after the disaster."

I'm also very interested in how Top down and Bottom up approaches are applied to disaster assessment and recovery.

Let's start out talking about your work as an anthropologist and ethnographer and why you look at affect and emotion, and how are they different? Then, please give some definitions for neoliberalism and how it applies to disaster recovery.

Ecologies of affect, affective regimes of state.

Western European approaches to affect, emotion and passion--Spinoza and Kant.

Top down brain functioning controls affect.

You say that disaster victims will sometimes consider the people trying to help them to be ethnocidal.

Talk about the anthropology of affect and disaster

Hallarse--feeling comfortable

Talk about the social disruption of disasters and the social disruption of disaster relief

Institutional racism and disaster relief.

Anthropologists say common sense is not common, it's cultural.
