Emotions have emerged as a topic of interest across the
disciplines, yet studies and findings on emotions tend to fall into
two camps: body versus brain, nature versus nurture. Emotions as
Bio-cultural Processes offers a unique collaboration across the
biological/social divide from psychology and neuroscience to
cultural anthropology and sociology as 15 noted researchers develop
a common language, theoretical basis, and methodology for examining
this most sociocognitive aspect of our lives. Starting with our
evolutionary past and continuing into our modern world of social
classes and norms, these multidisciplinary perspectives reveal the
complex interplay of biological, social, cultural, and personal
factors at work in emotions, with particular emphasis on the
nuances involved in pride and shame.
A sampling of the topics: (1) The roles of the brain in
emotional processing. (2) Emotional development milestones in
childhood. (3) Social feeling rules and the experience of loss. (4)
Emotions as commodities? The management of feelings and the
self-help industry. (5) Honor and dishonor: societal and gender
manifestations of pride and shame. (6) Emotion regulation and youth
culture. (7) Pride and shame in the classroom.
A volume of such wide and integrative scope as Emotions as
Bio-cultural Processes should attract a large cohort of readers on
both sides of the debate, among them emotion researchers, social
and developmental psychologists, sociologists, social
anthropologists, and others who analyze the links between humans
that on the one hand differentiate us as individuals but on the
other hand tie us to our socio-cultural worlds."
