Emotion, Affective Practices, and the Past in the Present is a
response to debates in the humanities and social sciences about the
use of emotion. This timely and unique book explores the ways
emotion is embroiled and used in contemporary engagements with the
past, particularly in contexts such as heritage sites, museums,
commemorations, political rhetoric and ideology, debates over
issues of social memory, and touristic uses of heritage sites.
Including contributions from academics and practitioners in a range
of countries, the book reviews significant and conflicting academic
debates on the nature and expression of affect and emotion. As a
whole, the book makes an argument for a pragmatic understanding of
affect and, in doing so, outlines Wetherell's concept of affective
practice, a concept utilised in most of the chapters in this book.
Since debates about affect and emotion can often be confusing and
abstract, the book aims to clarify these debates and, through the
use of case studies, draw out their implications for theory and
practice within heritage and museum studies. Emotion, Affective
Practices, and the Past in the Present should be essential reading
for students, academics, and professionals in the fields of
heritage and museum studies. The book will also be of interest to
those in other disciplines, such as social psychology, education,
archaeology, tourism studies, cultural studies, media studies,
anthropology, sociology, and history.
