Book Description

Publication Date: August 20, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0415972558 | ISBN-13: 978-0415972550 | Edition: 1

In "The Cultural Politics of the Emotions," Sara Ahmed develops a new methodology for reading "the emotionality of texts." She offers analyses of the role of emotions in debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, and reconciliation and reparation, and reflects on the role of emotions in feminist and queer politics. Of interest to readers in gender studies and cultural studies, the psychology and sociology of emotions, and phenomenology and psychoanalysis, "The Cultural Politics of the Emotions" offers new ways of thinking about our inner and our outer lives.
