Abstract

This volume is about the morphosyntactic encoding of feelings and emotions in Latin. It offers a corpus-based investigation of the Latin data, benefiting from insights of the functional and typological approach to language. Chiara Fedriani describes a patterned variation in Latin Experiential constructions, also revisiting the so-called impersonal constructions, and shows how and why such a variation is at the root of diachronic change. The data discussed in this book also show that Latin constitutes an interesting stage within a broader diachronic development, since it retains some ancient Indo-European features that gradually disappeared and went lost in the Romance languages.

Abstract

In private life, we try to induce or suppress love, envy, and anger through deep acting or "emotion work," just as we manage our outer expressions of feeling through surface acting. In trying to bridge a gap between what we feel and what we "ought" to feel, we take guidance from "feeling rules" about what is owing to others in a given situation. Based on our private mutual understandings of feeling rules, we make a "gift exchange" of acts of emotion management. We bow to each other not simply from the waist, but from the heart. But what occurs when emotion work, feeling rules, and the gift of exchange are introduced into the public world of work? In search of the answer, Arlie Russell Hochschild closely examines two groups of public-contact workers: flight attendants and bill collectors. The flight attendant's job is to deliver a service and create further demand for it, to enhance the status of the customer and be "nicer than natural." The bill collector's job is to collect on the service, and if necessary, to deflate the status of the customer by being "nastier than natural." Between these extremes, roughly one-third of American men and one-half of American women hold jobs that call for substantial emotional labor. In many of these jobs, they are trained to accept feeling rules and techniques of emotion management that serve the company's commercial purpose. Just as we have seldom recognized or understood emotional labor, we have not appreciated its cost to those who do it for a living. Like a physical laborer who becomes estranged from what he or she makes, an emotional laborer, such as a flight attendant, can become estranged not only from her own expressions of feeling (her smile is not "her" smile), but also from what she actually feels (her managed friendliness). This estrangement, though a valuable defense against stress, is also an important occupational hazard, because it is through our feelings that we are connected with those around us. On the basis of this book, Hochschild was featured in Key Sociological Thinkers, edited by Rob Stones. This book was also the winner of the Charles Cooley Award in 1983, awarded by the American Sociological Association and received an honorable mention for the C. Wright Mills Award.

Abstract

Wie werden komplexe Sinn-, Identitäts- und Wertekonstruktionen in den zeitlichen und dynamischen Mustern medialer Formen und Praktiken hergestellt? Wie generieren und transformieren filmische Bilder die affektiv grundierten Strukturen, in denen der Wertehorizont eines Gemeinwesens vermessen, bestätigt oder revidiert wird? In dieser Arbeit wird die These vertreten, dass die konkreten zeitlichen und dynamischen Strukturen der Filme je kulturell und historisch spezifisch zu verortende Muster der Welterfahrung hervorbringen. Anhand des (kollektiven) Schuldgefühls, dem Affekt der Irreversibilität, zeigt diese Arbeit, wie eine ästhetische Modulation moralischer Gefühle als das Kalkül audiovisueller Inszenierungsmuster beschrieben werden kann. Dieses Kalkül wird anhand von drei exemplarischen Gegenständen - das deutsche Nachkriegskino, der Hollywood-Western und Vietnamkriegsfilm sowie Filme zum Klimawandel - beschrieben und filmanalytisch greifbar gemacht. Audiovisuelle Inszenierungsmodi und ihre Modellierungen des Fühlens sollen so als eine kulturelle Praxis verdeutlicht werden, die an den Möglichkeitsbedingungen politischer Gemeinwesen und ihrer Geschichtlichkeit arbeitet.

Abstract

Woran bindet sich die Emotion des Zuschauers im Kino? Und wie lässt sich eine Geschichte dieser Bindung schreiben? Mit Blick auf diese Fragen konzipiert die Arbeit von Hauke Lehmann die filmhistorische Periode des New Hollywood als einen Moment der Krise, der sich weder auf ökonomisch bedingte Anpassungsprozesse noch auf eine Ansammlung von Meisterwerken reduzieren lässt. Vielmehr gelangt in der detaillierten Analyse repräsentativer Filme die Kraft filmischer Bilder in den Blick, ihre Zuschauer zu affizieren: sie mit dem Neuen zu konfrontieren. Die Filme des New Hollywood vermessen das Feld der alten poetischen Einteilungen - wie es sich im klassischen Genresystem manifestiert - radikal neu und verändern dadurch die Art und Weise, wie die Zuschauer im Kino emotional adressiert werden. Die Arbeit beschreibt ein komplexes Zusammenspiel dreier filmischer Modi von Affektivität - Suspense, Paranoia und Melancholie - welche die Zuschauer auf je besondere Weise in die Widersprüche ihrer emotionalen Weltbezüge verwickeln. Auf dieser theoretischen Grundlage entwirft die Arbeit das Projekt einer Neukonzeption von Filmgeschichte: als eine Geschichte des Fühlens, die sich bis in die Gegenwart neu schreiben lässt.

Abstract

What do emotions do? How do emotions move us or get us stuck? In developing a theory of the cultural politics of emotion, Sara Ahmed focuses on the relationship between emotions, language, and bodies. She shows how emotions are named in speech acts, as well as how they involve sensations that can be felt not only emotionally, but physically. A new methodology for reading 'the emotionality of texts' is offered as are analyses of the role of emotions in debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, and reconciliation and reparation. Attending to the intersections between race, gender, and sexuality, The Cultural Politics of Emotion is in dialogue with key trends in gender studies and cultural studies, the psychology and sociology of emotions, and phenomenology and psychoanalysis. It takes as its point of entry different emotions -- pain, hate, fear, disgust, shame, and love -- and reflects on the role of emotions in feminist and queer politics. In a special afterword to this tenth anniversary edition, Ahmed explains to readers how this classic book relates to other key works in the emergent field of affect studies and also reflects on the way the book has been part of her own intellectual trajectory.

Abstract

This strong and timely collection provides fresh insights into how Shakespeare's plays and poems were understood to affect bodies, minds and emotions. Contemporary criticism has had surprisingly little to say about the early modern period's investment in imagining literature's impact on feeling. Shakespearean Sensations brings together scholarship from a range of well-known and new voices to address this fundamental gap. The book includes a comprehensive introduction by Katharine A. Craik and Tanya Pollard and comprises three sections focusing on sensations aroused in the plays; sensations evoked in the playhouse; and sensations found in the imaginative space of the poems. With dedicated essays on Hamlet, Macbeth, Othello and Twelfth Night, the collection explores how seriously early modern writers took their relationship with their audiences and reveals new connections between early modern literary texts and the emotional and physiological experiences of theatregoers.
