Edward Escalon Jr‘s research interests lie at the intersection of the anthropology of Christianity and studies of affect and emotions. Edward’s dissertation is an ethnography of American evangelical missionaries who work with street-connected youth in Tegucigalpa, Honduras. The project considers the affective dimensions of missionary work and how these missionaries both consume and produce media about missionary life specifically, and Christian life more broadly. Images and narratives are both key components of this project. Edward seeks to show how missionaries use these media to foster transnational entanglements between evangelicals living in North America and the street-connected youth with whom these missionaries work. Edward draws up an affect theory, in order to understand how these images and narratives are mobilized within affective economies to synthesize religious public feelings.
