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.
