Summary

The Emotions and Cultural Analysis challenges the conventional divide between rationality and emotionality by demonstrating how emotions influence both our understanding of reason and culture itself. The book presents case studies from diverse cultural artefacts, literature, television, speech, fashion, and social media to reveal the concept of an 'emotional culture' unique to late-modern societies. This interdisciplinary work integrates sociology, philosophy, literary studies, linguistics, and communication to explore how emotions can be used as a tool for cultural analysis.

Description

Amidst prevailing debates that construe rationality and emotionality as polar opposites, this book explores the manner in which emotions shape not only prevailing conceptions of rationality, but also culture in general terms, making room for us to speak of an emotional culture specific to late-modern societies.

Presenting case studies involving cultural artefacts, narratives found in fictional and non-fictional literature and television programs, speech patterns and self-talk, fashion, and social networking practices, The Emotions and Cultural Analysis sheds light on the relationship between emotion and culture and the ways in which emotion can be harnessed for the purposes of cultural analysis.

An interdisciplinary volume containing the latest research from sociology, philosophy, literary studies, linguistics, and communication, this book will be of interest to those working on the sociology and philosophy of emotion, cultural studies, and cultural theory.
