This international collection discusses how the individualised,
reflexive, late modern era has changed the way we experience and
act on our emotions. Divided into four sections that include
studies ranging across multiple continents and centuries, Emotions
in Late Modernity does the following: Demonstrates an increased
awareness and experience of emotional complexity in late modernity
by challenging the legal emotional/rational divide;
positive/negative concepts of emotional valence; sociological/
philosophical/psychological divisions around emotion, morality and
gender; and traditional understandings of love and loneliness.
Reveals tension between collectivised and individualised-privatised
emotions in investigating 'emotional sharing' and individualised
responsibility for anger crimes in courtrooms; and the generation
of emotional energy and achievement emotions in classrooms. Debates
the increasing mediation of emotions by contrasting their
historical mediation (through texts and bodies) with contemporary
digital mediation of emotions in classroom teaching, collective
mobilisations (e.g. riots) and film and documentary
representations. Demonstrates reflexive micro and macro management
of emotions, with examinations of the 'politics of fear' around
asylum seeking and religious subjects, and collective commitment to
climate change mitigation. The first collection to investigate the
changing nature of emotional experience in contemporary times,
Emotions in Late Modernity will appeal to students and researchers
interested in fields such as sociology of emotions, cultural
studies, political science and psychology.
