ResumoClick to increase image sizeClick to decrease image size Acknowledgements Most of the articles in this special issue developed from a series of conference panels at the Annual Meeting of the Association for Asian Studies (AAS; Philadelphia, March 2010), the Third International Conference on Emotional Geographies (University of South Australia, April 2010), and a symposium on Space, Place and Emotion in Modern Japan (University of Wollongong, April 2010). The Centre for Asia-Pacific Social Transformation Studies (CAPSTRANS) supported the symposium at the University of Wollongong. We are indebted to the audiences at these conferences for their questions, comments and feedback, and we would particularly like to thank Anne Allison for her comments as discussant at the AAS panel. Our contributions to this special issue have been improved immeasurably by the advice of Editors-in-Chief Judith Snodgrass and Carolyn Stevens, copy-editor extraordinaire David Kelly, and the constructive comments of the anonymous referees.
