This interdisciplinary volume brings together specialists from
different backgrounds to deliver expert views on the relationship
between morality and emotion, putting a special emphasis on issues
related to emotional shocks. One of the distinctive aspects of
social existence today is our subjection to traumatic events on a
global scale, and our subsequent embodiment of the emotional
responses these events provoke. Covering various methodological
angles, the contributors ensure careful and heterogeneous
reflection on this delicate topic. With eleven original essays, the
collection spans a wide variety of fields from philosophy and
literary theory, to the visual arts, history, and psychology. The
authors cover diverse themes, including philosophical approaches to
political polarization; the impact of negative emotions such as
anger on inter-relational balance; humour and politics; media and
the idea of progress; photography and trauma discourse; democratic
morality in modern Indian society; emotional olfactory experiences;
phenomenological readings of spatial disorientation, and the
significance of moral shocks. This timely volume offers crucial
perspectives on contemporary questions relating to ethical
behaviours, and the challenges of a globalized society on the verge
of political, financial and emotional collapse.
