We observe that current phenomena at technoscientific workplaces such as agility, rapid prototyping or the entrepreneurialization of tech development enwrap workers in affective language and practices about promising technoscientific futures. Feelings such as passion, joy and enthusiasm in (agile) companies, makerspaces, research labs, home offices and platform enterprises illustrate how workers become responsibilized to engage emotionally with their work, often having the aim to drive national, institutional and personal progress. </span></p>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1.7999999999999998;text-align:

They point our attention to the emotional side of daily life as well as the discursive dimension, power-laden structures, and representations that drive collective affect (Ahmed 2004). Affective attachments to tech work normalize its often-precarious norms and scholars therefore argue that workers’ emotions are entangled with corporate objectives and neoliberal logics (Cockayne 2016; Davies 2017; Gregg 2011). Thus, </span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:italic;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;">emotions at work</span><span style="font-size:11pt;font-family:Arial;color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:400;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;white-space:pre;white-space:pre-wrap;"> are characterized by exploitative dynamics of (affective) oppression, control and invisiblized devalued labour (Amrute 2019; Crain et al. 2016; Resch et al. 2021). However, attending to the sensations at workplaces, the involved bodies, emotions and identities also uncovers solidary feelings and care work, which open up new paths for emancipatory ambitions (Coban and Wenten 2020). </span></p>

We invite papers (and also other forms of input) that discuss the ambivalent feelings of technoscientific work, their risks and challenges, but also the political opportunities for emancipatory technoscientific futures.
