This collection is concerned with two fundamental concepts of
social science- power and emotion. Power permeates all human
relationships and is constitutive of social, economic, and
political life. It stands at the centre of social and political
theorizing, and its study has enriched scholarship within a wide
range of disciplines, including sociology, political science,
philosophy, and anthropology. The conceptual cluster of emotion, by
contrast, had a more troubled time within these same disciplines.
However, since the 1970's and the advent of the 'emotional turn',
there has been a widespread re-evaluation of emotion in and for our
shared social existence and, today, emotions research is at
forefront of contemporary social science. Yet, although both
concepts are now widely seen as fundamental, research on these two
phenomena has tended to run in parallel. This collection, featuring
leading international scholars, seeks to unite and deploy both
concepts, emotion and power, in a variety of ways, and on a diverse
array of topics such as: education, organizations, social
movements, politics, 'old' and 'new' media, rhetoric and in
comparative intellectual history. The results are at the bleeding
edge of scholarship on these concepts, and will make important
reading for practitioners and students working in the sociology of
emotions, social and political power, political sociology,
organization studies, and for sociological and political theory
more generally. This book was published as a special issue of the
Journal of Political Power.
