Summary: This study presents EmoPro, a normative study of the emotion lexicon in the Spanish language, providing emotional prototypicality ratings for 1286 emotion words. The analysis reveals the significant roles of dimensional and discrete emotion-related variables, as well as Age-of-Acquisition and frequency, in predicting prototypicality. Cross-linguistic comparisons show similarities in the patterns observed across different languages.

Summary: This introduction discusses the objectives and concepts underlying the Special Issue on the new spatialities of work in the city, highlighting the urban impact of changing spatiotemporal working patterns and increased diversity of workspaces brought about by post-industrial restructuring, globalisation, labour market flexibilisation and digitisation. It questions traditional models of work and commuting, explores new understandings of workspace, and stresses the importance of understanding the medium- and long-term impacts of pandemic-altered work practices in cities. It argues for connecting spatialities of work with research on health, job quality, and wellbeing in cities, particularly regarding the risks exposed by COVID-19 for driving and mobile work.

Summary: This study explores the potential of artificial emotions displayed by a robot in enhancing communication and increasing human willingness to assist in challenging situations. The research found that displaying emotions improved overall understanding of the robot's situation, but had no significant effect on participants' willingness to help. Careful selection of artificial emotions is crucial, considering situational appropriateness and emotional impact on human collaborators.

Summary: This study found that scores on the Hypomanic Personality Scale were related to emotional clarity but not attention to emotion. High HPS scores were associated with intensity and instability of negative affect only for those at low and mean levels of attention. There was a significant indirect association between HPS scores and emotional outcomes through low emotional clarity.

Summary: This work explores the possibility of building generic computational approaches and languages to model affective phenomena. By conducting an analysis inspired by philosophical and psychological theories, a theoretical framework is proposed to support the development of a model of an affective agent with practical reasoning. The framework also allows for incremental research and evaluation of current computational approaches in integrating practical reasoning and affect-related issues.

Summary: Singapore is characterized by the convergence of multiple diaspora populations, leading to social tensions between old and new waves of migrants, especially among those from India and China. The lack of comparative analyses of Indian and Chinese migration limits understanding of their simultaneous impact on migrant-receiving societies. Singapore's experience highlights subtle forms of inter- and co-ethnic racialization beyond tropes of color.

Summary: Recent studies of racism against migrants have tried to move away from the dichotomy between whites and Others, but the focus is still on white people racialising others. The racialization and racism by Asians and among Asians have been ignored, resulting in a lack of research on race in non-white settings.

Summary: This progress report examines the evolution of debates on the spatial ontologies and epistemologies of power in social geography by drawing on recent geographical literature on assemblages, infrastructures, and topology. It argues that each of the three approaches mentioned illuminates certain qualities of the relationship between sociality and space, providing researchers with a particular way of seeing and knowing the world. The report concludes by emphasizing the need to consider what might be overlooked through the choice of spatial vocabularies and reflecting on how spatial theorizing can promote social justice.

Summary: This paper explores the emotional complexities of eldercare in the context of transnational families by studying the impact of geographical distance on caregiving and the modulation of emotions related to receiving care. The analysis is based on in-depth interviews with 17 older Singaporeans with at least one adult child residing overseas. The study also investigates the aging futures envisioned by the elderly and the emotions they negotiate, particularly in anticipation of changing health situations.

Summary: This special issue investigates how older adults anticipate and manage their futures through migration. The findings indicate that older adults' attitudes towards future planning significantly influence their life outcomes and the experiences of their caregivers. Some older adults choose migration to improve their prospects of ageing well based on their perceptions and depictions of the future, although they still face constraints while ageing abroad. On the other hand, the migration of younger family members exacerbates the caregiving stress felt by non-migrant caregivers.

Summary: This article examines the gender inequalities and risks behind Myanmar women's engagement in low-paid domestic work abroad, and proposes the concept of multiple intersectional domains to explain these issues. The Myanmar government's neglect and lack of protection for migrant domestic workers, along with the hidden nature of the domestic work industry in Singapore, result in deeply entrenched risks across multiple domains, inflicting slow violence on these migrants.

Summary: This article examines the post-migration adaptation experience of Chinese grandparenting migrants in Singapore, focusing on their attitudes toward temporary presence, constraints faced, and coping strategies. It introduces the concepts of objective and subjective temporariness to illustrate how duration and feelings impact migrants' ability to adapt. The study emphasizes the importance of analyzing temporariness as a condition experienced by older temporary migrants and as a tool used by nation-states to regulate migrant populations.

Summary: This article explores how the care and ageing orientations of older single female migrants from Singapore living in China or commuting between Singapore and China are shaped by gender norms and heteronormativity. The authors argue that these gender norms and heteronormativity result in fewer strategies for prolonging migration for older single female migrants, shape their long-distance caregiving practices, and reinforce gendered and heteronormative expectations of caregiving by aligning later-life aspirations with eldercare obligations.

Summary: This commentary introduces the concept of 'dual facing' to describe how Chinese voluntary associations navigate their collective identity between their ancestral land (China) and their host countries. Through examining Chinese voluntary associations in Singapore and Myanmar, it discusses China's longstanding presence and influence in Southeast Asia, particularly through engaging with its diaspora. The commentary argues that these associations are not only engaged in nation-building efforts of their host countries, but also have strong ties to their ancestral land. However, their dual-facing orientation also exposes them to domestic and foreign political conflicts, which may risk their role as bridges and brokers between China and their host countries.
