Emotion in Social Relations
Within psychology, emotion is often treated as something private and personal. In contrast, this book tries to understand emotion from the 'outside,' by examining the everyday social settings in which it operates. Three levels of social influence are considered in decreasing order of inclusiveness, starting with the surrounding culture and subculture, moving on to the more delimited organization or group, and finally focusing on the interpersonal setting.
\"This is one of the best and most comprehensive treatments of emotion available today. The authors, each an accomplished researcher in his or her own right, have done a superb job integrating a large and diverse set data. Theoretically sound, empirically grounded, and global in scope, the book is also clearly and engagingly written. A major accomplishment.\" -- James R. Averill, University of Massachusetts, Amherst \"At first glance, emotions are simple, biological events inside a person. This important book by three distinguished researchers argues, convincingly, that emotions are not so simple. Instead, they are deeply social events. This book is required reading for anyone who deals on a practical or a scientific level with emotion.\" -- James A. Russell, Boston College \"An exciting movement is occurring in the psychology of emotions. Rather than seeing emotions only in the heads and bodies of individuals, psychologists are beginning to explore how emotions align and realign relationships between people. Anyone interested in this fascinating new direction could do no better than to read the book by Brian Parkinson, Agneta Fischer and Tony Manstead: a fine book on an up-to-the-moment topic.\" -- Keith Oatley, University of Toronto \"The authors present a deeply social conception of emotion with arguments that are passionate yet balanced, scholarly yet accessible. Anyone with an interest in human emotions will want to read this book.\" -- W. Gerrod Parrott, Georgetown University

Honour, Violence and Emotions in History
Honour, Violence and Emotions in History is the first book to draw on emerging cross-disciplinary scholarship on the study of emotions to analyse the history of honour and violence across a broad range of cultures and regions. Written by leading cultural and social historians from around the world, the book considers how emotions - particularly shame, anger, disgust, jealousy, despair and fear - have been provoked and expressed through culturally-embedded and historically specific understandings of honour. The collection explores a range of contexts, from 17th-century China to 18th-century South Africa and 20th-century Europe, offering a broad and wide-ranging analysis of the interrelationships between honour, violence and emotions in history. This ground-breaking book will be of interest to all researchers studying the relationship between violence and the emotions.

Rethinking Emotion
What are emotions, where do they originate and how are they brought into being? While from antiquity to early modernity, affects or passions were mostly conceived of as external physiological forces which act upon a passive subject, modern conceptions generally locate emotions within the subject. Drawing on the dichotomy of \"interiority / exteriority\" as a complex interdependent relationship, they mostly envision emotions as interior processes. Contemporary conceptions of emotion from such different fields as human geography, art history and cognitive sciences recently started to challenge this notion of internal emotions by developing alternative descriptions of externalized emotion.
This book reevaluates premodern, modern and contemporary conceptions of affects, passions and emotion by analyzing various historical manifestations of the discourse on emotion. Unlike most previous research, which ? especially in the German tradition ? often focused exclusively on the rise of the modern (Romantic) interiority without paying attention to the underlying dichotomy of \"interiority / exteriority\", this study aims to explore the historical preconditions, the internal logic and the possible shortcomings that inform our thinking on emotion.

Beyond ‘born not made’: challenging character, emotions and professionalism in undergraduate medical education
In this article we explore the historical antecedents and ongoing perpetuation of the idea that medical professionals must adhere to a specific ‘character’. In the late nineteenth century, an ideal of the medical student as ‘born not made’ was substantiated through medical school opening addresses and other medical literature. An understanding prevailed that students would have a natural inclination that would suit them to medical work, which was predicated on class structures. As we move into the twentieth-century context, we see that such underpinnings remained, even if the idea of ‘character’ becomes ‘characteristics’. This was articulated through emerging psychological and sociological perspectives on education, as well as medical school admission processes. The significance ascribed to character and characteristics-based suitability continues to exclude and limits who can access medical careers. In the final part of the article, we argue that a framework of uncertainty can and should be mobilised to re-evaluate the role of doctors’ education and critique long-standing notions of professional identity, via the integration of medical humanities and clearer professionalism teaching within medical curricula.
Journal Article
Postemotional Society
Introducing a new term to the sociological lexicon: `postemotionalism′, Stjepan G Me[inverted ci]strovi[ac]c argues that the focus of postmodernism has been on knowledge and information, and he demonstrates how the emotions in mass, industrial societies have been neglected to devastating effect. Using contempoary examples, the author shows how emotion has become increasingly separated from action; how - in a world of disjointed and synthetic emotions - social solidarity has become more problematic; and how compassion fatigue has increasingly replaced political commitment and responsibility. Me[inverted ci]strovi[ac]c discusses the relation between knowledge and the emotions in thinkers as diverse as Durkheim and Baudrillard.
