Offering insights on the wide range of sources that are available
from across the globe and throughout history for the study of the
history of emotions, this book provides students with a handbook
for beginning their own research within the field. Divided into
three parts, Sources for the History of Emotions begins by giving
key starting points into the ethical, methodological and
theoretical issues in the field. Part II shows how emotions
historians have proved imaginative in their discovering and use of
varied materials, considering such sources as rituals, relics and
religious rhetoric, prescriptive literature, medicine, science and
psychology, and fiction, while Part III offers introductions to
some of the big or emerging topics in the field, including embodied
emotions, comparative emotions, and intersectionality and emotion.
Written by key scholars of emotions history, the book shows readers
the ways in which different sources can be used to extract
information about the history of emotions, highlighting the kind of
data available and how it can be used in a field for which there is
no convenient archive of sources. The focused discussion of sources
offered in this book, which not only builds on existing research,
but encourages further efforts, makes it ideal reading and a key
resource for all students of emotions history.
Shame and the Anti-Feminist Backlash examines how women opposed to
the feminist campaign for the vote in early twentieth-century
Britain, Ireland, and Australia used shame as a political tool. It
demonstrates just how proficient women were in employing a diverse
vocabulary of emotions - drawing on concepts like embarrassment,
humiliation, honour, courage, and chivalry - in the attempt to
achieve their political goals. It looks at how far nationalist
contexts informed each gendered emotional community at a time when
British imperial networks were under extreme duress. The book
presents a unique history of gender and shame which demonstrates
just how versatile and ever-present this social emotion was in the
feminist politics of the British Empire in the early decades of the
twentieth century. It employs a fascinating new thematic lens to
histories of anti-feminist/feminist entanglements by tracing
national and transnational uses of emotions by women to police
their own political communities. It also challenges the common
notion that shame had little place in a modernizing world by
revealing how far groups of patriotic womanhood, globally, deployed
shame to combat the effects of feminist activism.
Remembering Women's Activism examines the intersections between
gender politics and acts of remembrance by tracing the cultural
memories of women who are known for their actions. Memories are
constantly being reinterpreted and are profoundly shaped by gender.
This book explores the gendered dimensions of history and memory
through nation-based and transnational case studies from the
Asia-Pacific region and Anglophone world. Chapters consider how
different forms of women's activism have been remembered: the
efforts of suffragists in Britain, the USA and Australia to
document their own histories and preserve their memory; Constance
Markievicz and Qiu Jin, two early twentieth-century political
activists in Ireland and China respectively; the struggles of women
workers; and the movement for redress of those who have suffered
militarized sexual abuse. The book concludes by reflecting on the
mobilization of memories of activism in the present. Transnational
in scope and with reference to both state-centred and organic acts
of remembering, including memorial practices, physical sites of
memory, popular culture and social media, Remembering Women's
Activism is an ideal volume for all students of gender and history,
the history of feminism, and the relationship between memory and
history.
