The 20th century, with revolutionary and rapid developments in
travel, communications and computerised technologies, offered new
and seemingly limitless horizons which accompanied and amplified
distinctive experiences of emotions. The birth of psychology and
psychiatry revealed the importance of emotional life and that
individuals could have control over their behaviour. Traditional
religion was challenged and alternative forms of spiritualism
emerged. Creative and performing arts continued to shape
understandings and experiences of emotions, from realism to
detachment, holistic to fragmented notions of self and society. The
role of emotions in family life focused on how to deal with modern
day freedom and anxiety. In the public sphere, people used emotion
to oppress as well as liberate. Countering threats to national
security, personal and cultural identity, a range of political
motivated activities emerged embracing peace, humanitarian and
environmental causes. This volume surveys the means by which modern
experience shaped how, why and where emotions were expressed,
monitored and controlled.
