Emotions are a loaded topic. From love and hate to grief, fear and
envy, emotions are increasingly understood as driving forces in
social life. The Emotions: A Cultural Reader applies a
cross-cultural perspective on emotions. It examines the fact that
emotions are socially and culturally constructed, while
highlighting problems of comparison and translation of local terms
and emotional experiences.
Are emotions cultural or universal? To what extent are there
culturally distinct emotions? The Emotions closes the traditional
Western gap where emotions are separated from rationality and
thought: the heart versus mind debate. By presenting both classic
essays and new cutting-edge chapters from anthropology, sociology
and psychology with important contributions from philosophy and
neuroscience, the volume connects a rich range of cross-cultural
studies to form a thriving interdisciplinary debate on emotions.
