Rather than being properties of the individual self, emotions are
socially produced and deployed in specific cultural contexts, as
this collection documents with unusual richness. All the essays
show emotions to be a form of thought and knowledge, and a major
component of social life - including in the nineteenth century,
which attempted to relegate them to a feminine intimate sphere. The
collection ranges across topics such as eighteenth-century
sensibility, nineteenth-century concerns with the transmission of
emotions, early twentieth-century cinematic affect, and the
contemporary mobilization of political emotions including those
regarding nonstate national identities. The complexities and
effects of emotions are explored in a variety of forms - political
rhetoric, literature, personal letters, medical writing, cinema,
graphic art, soap opera, journalism, popular music, digital media -
with attention paid to broader European and transatlantic
implications.
