Tracing emotions across work, leisure, social media, and politics,
Practical Feelings counters old myths and shows how emotions are
practical resources for tackling individual and collective
challenges. We do not usually think of our emotions as practical -
often they are nuisances to overcome, momentary mysteries to solve,
or fleeting sensations to savor before getting back to the business
of living. But emotions interlace the practical elements of daily
life. In Practical Feelings, Marci D. Cottingham develops a theory
of emotion as practical resources. By integrating the sociology of
emotion with practice theory, Cottingham covers diverse areas of
social life to show the range of an emotion practice approach and
trace how emotions are put to use in divergent domains. Spanning
work, leisure, digital interactions, and the political sphere,
Cottingham portrays nurses, sports fans, social media users, and
political actors in more complex, holistic ways. Practical Feelings
provides the conceptual tools needed to examine emotions as effort,
energy, and embodied resources that calibrate us to the social
world.
