Are emotions becoming more conspicuous in contemporary life? Are
the social sciences undergoing an an 'affective turn'? This Reader
gathers influential and contemporary work in the study of emotion
and affective life from across the range of the social sciences.
Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, the collection
offers a sense of the diversity of perspectives that have emerged
over the last thirty years from a variety of intellectual
traditions. Its wide span and trans-disciplinary character is
designed to capture the increasing significance of the study of
affect and emotion for the social sciences, and to give a sense of
how this is played out in the context of specific areas of
interest. The volume is divided into four main parts: universals
and particulars of affect embodying affect political economies of
affect affect, power and justice. Each main part comprises three
sections dedicated to substantive themes, including emotions,
history and civilization; emotions and culture; emotions selfhood
and identity; emotions and the media; emotions and politics;
emotions, space and place, with a final section dedicated to themes
of compassion, hate and terror. Each of the twelve sections begins
with an editorial introduction that contextualizes the readings and
highlights points of comparison across the volume. Cross-national
in content, the collection provides an introduction to the key
debates, concepts and modes of approach that have been developed by
social scientist for the study of emotion and affective life.
