What is the political allure, value and currency of emotions within
contemporary cultures of governance? What does it mean to govern
more humanely? Since the emergence of an emotional turn in human
geography over the last decade, the notion that our emotions matter
in understanding an array of social practices, spatial formations
and aspects of everyday life is no longer seen as controversial.
This book brings recent developments in emotional geography into
dialogue with social policy concerns and contemporary issues of
governance. It sets the intellectual scene for research into the
geographical dimensions of the emotionalized states of the citizen,
policy maker and public service worker, and highlights new research
on the emotional forms of governance which now characterise public
life. An international range of empirical field studies are used to
examine issues of regulation, modification, governance and
potential manipulation of emotional affects, professional and
personal identities and political technologies. Contributors
provide analysis of the role of emotional entanglements in policy
strategy, policy implementation, service delivery, citizenship and
participation as well as considering the emotional nature of the
research process itself. It will be of interest to researchers and
students within social policy, human geography, politics and
related disciplines.
