Collective and group-based pride is currently covered across a
number of disciplines including nationalism studies, sociology and
social psychology, with little communication between fields. This
multidisciplinary collection encourages interdisciplinary research
and provides a unique insight into the subject, stemming from a
psychological perspective. The collection builds upon insights from
collective emotion research to consider the relations between
collective pride, shame and guilt as well as emotions of anger,
empowerment and defiance. Collective pride is examined in contexts
that vary from small groups in relatively peaceful competition to
protest movements and large groups in divisive conflicts. In the
book collective pride is a complex and positive emotional
experience evident in the behaviour of groups, that can lead to
negative forms of collective hubris in which other groups are
devalued or dominated. Emotions of Collective Pride and Group
Identity brings together international contributors to discuss the
theory, research and practice surrounding collective pride in
relation to other emotions and collective, cultural and national
identity. Divided into two parts, part one explores the philosophy
and theory behind collective pride and its extremes. Part two draws
upon the latest quantitative and qualitative empirical research to
focus on specific issues, for example, happiness, national pride
and the 2010 World Cup. Topics covered include: - cultural and
national pride and identity - positive feelings of unity and
solidarity - dynamic relationships between collective pride, guilt
and shame - theories of emotions in ritual, symbolic and affective
practices - collective pride and collective hubris in organizations
- perspectives on national events from young people. This book will
appeal to an interdisciplinary audience in the area of affect
studies and emotion research including social psychologists,
sociologists, historians and anthropologists.
