"Absolutely essential reading for those wanting to understand the
recent 'turn' to affect. Offering an extensive analysis of all the
perspectives available, including the psycho, neuro, bio and
social, Margie Wetherell treads a magisterial path through the
radically different offerings, one that illuminates key ideas and
will save the uninitiated wandering down many pointless avenues. A
path-setting book." - Professor Beverley Skeggs, Goldsmiths In
recent years there has been a huge surge of interest in affect and
emotion. Scholars want to discover how people are moved, and
understand embodied social action, feelings and passions. How do
social formations 'grab' people? How do roller coasters of
contempt, patriotism, hate and euphoria power public life? A new
social science understanding of affect and emotion is long overdue
and Margaret Wetherell's voice is timely, providing a coherent and
pragmatic text. It will be invaluable reading for those interested
in this fascinating field across the social and behavioural
sciences.
