Description
Emotions work to define who we are as well as shape what we do, and this is no more powerfully at play than in the world of politics. Ahmed considers how emotions keep us invested in relationships of power and also shows how this use of emotion could be crucial to areas such as feminist and queer politics.
Debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, as well as reconciliation and reparation, are explored through topical case studies. In this book, the difficult issues are confronted head on.
The Cultural Politics of Emotion is in dialogue with recent literature on emotions within gender studies, cultural studies, sociology, psychology, and philosophy. Throughout the book, Ahmed develops a theory of how emotions work and the effects they have on our day-to-day lives.
New for this edition:
- A substantial 15,000-word Afterword on 'Emotions and Their Objects' which provides an original contribution to the burgeoning field of affect studies
- A revised Bibliography
- Updated throughout
