Are emotions innate or learned? Are they the same everywhere, or
culturally variable? Research on the emotions tends to be polarised
between neo-Darwinian and culturalist perspectives. In this volume,
first published in 1999, biological and cultural anthropologists
attempt to transcend the traditional oppositions, proposing various
strategies for integrating biological and cultural approaches to
the study of emotion. They discuss a variety of fascinating
ethnographic examples, covering topics that range from the effects
of music to the relationships between emotion and respiration. The
editor's introduction provides a lucid review of the state of the
field.
