Emotional Well-Being in Educational Policy and Practice: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
by Kathryn EcclestoneSchools in numerous countries around the world have become key sites for interventions designed to enhance the emotional well-being of children and young people, offering new forms of pedagogy and curriculum knowledge informed in ad hoc and eclectic ways by various strands of psychology, counselling and therapy.Responding to C. Wright Mills famous injunction for a ‘sociological imagination this unique inter-disciplinary collection of papers explores ideologies and imperatives that frame contemporary education policy and practice around emotional well-being, ideas and assumptions about the state of childhood today, and the changing nature of the curriculum subject and associated forms of knowledge. In bringing together British and American advocates of behavioural interventions in social and emotional learning alongside critics who draw on historical, philosophical and sociological perspectives, it highlights new and important debates for policy makers, the designers, implementers and evaluators of interventions and those who participate in them.This book was originally published as a special issue of Research Papers in Education.
Emotional and Ethical Challenges for Field Research in Africa
by Susan Thomson An Ansoms Jude MurisonAcademic literature rarely gives an account of the ethical challenges and emotional pitfalls the researcher is confronted with before, during and after being in the field. Giving personal accounts, the authors explore some of the challenges one can face when engaging in local-level research in difficult situations.
Emotional and Sectional Conflict in the Antebellum United States
by Michael E. Woods"The sectional conflict over slavery in the United States was not only a clash between labor systems and political ideologies but also a viscerally felt part of the lives of antebellum Americans. This book contributes to the growing field of emotions history by exploring how specific emotions shaped Americans' perceptions of, and responses to, the sectional conflict in order to explain why it culminated in disunion and war. Emotions from indignation to jealousy were inextricably embedded in antebellum understandings of morality, citizenship, and political affiliation. Their arousal in the context of political debates encouraged Northerners and Southerners alike to identify with antagonistic sectional communities and to view the conflicts between them as worth fighting over. Michael E. Woods synthesizes two schools of thought on Civil War causation: the fundamentalist, which foregrounds deep-rooted economic, cultural, and political conflict, and the revisionist, which stresses contingency, individual agency, and collective passion"--
Emotionale Mitgliedschaft – Studien zum Verhältnis von Organisation, Emotion und Individuum (Organisationssoziologie)
by Charlotte RendaDas Buchvorhaben bringt zwei Themen zusammen, die unterschiedlich lange Traditionen innerhalb der Soziologie besitzen, aber beide von ungebrochener Aktualität sind: das Thema „Individuum und Organisation“ sowie das Thema „Emotionen am Arbeitsplatz“. In Zeiten, in denen Diskurse um Gefühlsarbeit und emotionales Selbstmanagement, aber auch der Selbstermächtigung und Anerkennung im Beruf an Gewicht gewinnen, gilt es, das Spannungsverhältnis zwischen Individuum und Kollektiv in seinen emotionalen Weiterungen neu zu beleuchten. Von einem organisationssoziologischen Ausgangspunkt her untersucht Charlotte Renda, wie an den schicksalhaften Überschneidungspunkten von dienstlichem Handeln und persönlicher Betroffenheit (sei es des Handelnden selbst, sei es dessen, der sich durch ihn behandelt sieht) eine organisationseigene emotionale Dynamik entsteht, ohne die Organisationsrationalitäten nicht zu denken sind. Das Buch versammelt unter dieser Fragestellung Studien zur Dynamik von Mitarbeiterauswahl und -evaluation, zu emotionalen Sozialtechniken im Kündigungsprozess und der Professionalisierung und Vermarktlichung dieser Techniken durch Auslagerung von Kündigungen an die sogenannte Outplacement-Beratungsindustrie, sowie zu Statuskarrieren und Identitätskonstruktion innerhalb der Organisation.

Emotionally Indebted: Governing the Unemployed People in an Affective Economy
by Sabina PultzThis book explores the lived experience of unemployment from a critical social psychological perspective. It connects the condition of unemployment to governance structures and wider societal issues, such as the labor market tendencies of precarity and enterprise culture. Based on qualitative data collected in Denmark and America, the book gives voice to unemployed people to critically discuss both the intended and unintended consequences of active labor market measures, as well as the frequent moral evaluations that surround unemployment. The author explores how unemployed people make sense of and deal with the demands and activities required by activation policies or ALMPs, which tend to make the job seekers responsible for finding a solution to their condition. Building from the subjective experience of unemployment, it maps the complex emotional demands on jobseekers who should feel shame and self-blame but also display motivation and passion on the labor market. Presenting emotions and feelings as pivotal instruments of the governmentality of worklessness, this book addresses the lack of critical discussion and research into the unemployment experience and offers a useful, provocative perspective for students, scholars, and practitioners alike in social psychology, social policy, economic policy, and related disciplines.

Emotionen als Kapital: Versuch, mit Hilfe von Pierre Bourdieu ein komplexes Phänomen zu erschließen
by Oliver RicoEmotionen, Gefühle und Affekte bezeichnen einen Bereich in der modernen Soziologie, der in einem gewissen Sinne als übersehen oder vielleicht gar als vergessen zu bezeichnen ist. Dies ist durchaus verwunderlich, insofern offensichtlich Emotionen eine große Rolle nicht nur in den alltäglichen Beziehungen der Menschen untereinander spielen, sondern auch in anderen, beispielsweise politischen. Wie viele andere moderne Soziologen kommt auch Bourdieu kaum auf diese Seite des Menschen zu sprechen und doch bietet seine Soziologie durchaus Anknüpfungspunkte, Emotionen und Gefühle zu analysieren und sie soziologisch zu interpretieren. Das Ziel der Arbeit besteht darin, Emotionen als Kapital im Sinne Bourdieus zu deuten und von diesem Gesichtspunkt aus spezifische Aspekte menschlicher Interaktionen besser zu verstehen. Der Nachweis, dass Emotionen tatsächlich als Kapital zu verstehen sind, erweist sich dadurch, dass Emotionen in alle Kapitalsorten konvertibel sind. Im Zuge dieses Nachweises stellt sich heraus, dass vor allem in politischen Kontexten Emotionen besonders leicht in die anderen Kapitalsorten tauschbar sind. Aber auch in der Finanzindustrie beispielsweise (bzw. der Ökonomie im Allgemeinen) spielen Emotionen, entgegen der Voraussetzungen der Wirtschaftswissenschaften, eine große Rolle.
Emotionen in der interkulturellen Psychologie: Ein maschinell generierter Forschungsüberblick
by Thu Trang Vu Dung Vu Thi Mai Lan NguyenDieses Buch gibt in fünf Themenfelder gegliedert einen Überblick über die Emotionsforschung in der kulturübergreifenden Psychologie. Es werden kulturelle Ähnlichkeiten und Unterschiede in verschiedenen Aspekten von Emotionen erörtert – vom emotionalen Ausdruck über die emotionale Anerkennung bis hin zur Emotionsregulation. Die Emotionsforschung aus der Perspektive der interkulturellen Psychologie ermöglicht den Leser:innen eine differenziertere Sicht: Es geht nicht nur um den Unterschied zwischen Individualismus und Kollektivismus, sondern auch darum, wie der breite Kontext viele psychologische Prozesse dazwischen beeinflusst, die wiederum die emotionale Verarbeitung und Reaktion steuern. Das Buch enthält einen systematischen Literaturüberblick auf der Grundlage maschinell generierter Inhalte. Fragen und zugehörige Schlüsselwörter wurden für die Maschine vorbereitet, die sie abgefragt, entdeckt, zusammengestellt und durch Clustering mit künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) strukturiert hat. Springer Nature hat in den letzten Jahren viel zu dem Thema in Zeitschriften veröffentlicht, so dass die Herausforderung für die Maschine darin bestand, die relevantesten Inhalte zu identifizieren und sie in einer strukturierten Weise zu präsentieren. Die automatisch generierten Literaturzusammenfassungen dienen Fachkräften aus den Bereichen Psychologie, Erziehung und Wirtschaft, aber auch Wissenschaftler:innen und Studierenden dazu, sich schnell einen Überblick über die aktuelle Entwicklung des Themas zu verschaffen. Sie sollen außerdem als Anregung und Impuls für aktuelle Forschungsfragen, für neue Strategien sowie für mögliche Lösungen in schwierigen Situationen nützlich sein.
Emotions Matter
by Alan Hunt Dale Spencer Kevin WalbyThe sociology of emotions has recently undergone a renaissance, raising new questions for the social sciences: How should we define and study emotions? How are emotions related to perennial sociological debates about structure, power, and agency? Emotions Matter brings together leading international scholars to build on and extend sociological understandings of emotions.Moving beyond reductionist approaches that frame emotions as idiosyncratic states of mind, the scholars in this collection conceptualize emotions as the experience of social relations. Empirical and theoretical chapters demonstrate how emotions relate to sociological theories of interaction, the body, gender, and communication. Pushing the boundaries of sociology and stimulating debate for related fields, Emotions Matter offers diverse relational approaches that illustrate the crucial importance of emotions to the sociological imagination.
Emotions and Belonging in Forced Migration: Syrian Refugees and Asylum Seekers (Routledge Advances in Sociology)
by Basem MahmudEmotions and Belonging in Forced Migration takes a sociology of emotions approach to gain a better understanding of the present situation of forced migration. Furthermore, it helps to bring the voices and views of forced migrants to academic and public debates in Western society, where they have been generally absent and often investigated with predefined concepts and categories based on theories having little relevance to their cultural and social experiences. This work, however, is based on an inductive methodology that carefully carries the voices of forced migrants throughout the research. Therefore, it will be of interest for various audiences from different disciplines in social sciences, as for any readers seeking to learn more about the refugees in his building, neighbourhood, city, or country. Finally, it provides an insightful lens for those who wants to know more about Syria and the Arab uprisings after 2010: It is the first study of what Syrians feel during the entirety of their difficult ordeal fleeing Syria, traversing different countries in the global South, and landing in Western ones. No other book treats this thematic focus with the same geographic and temporal breadth.
Emotions and Crime: Towards a Criminology of Emotions
by Sandra Walklate Michael Hviid JacobsenIn spite of the fact that crime is an emotive topic, the question of emotion has been largely overlooked in criminological research, which has tended instead to examine criminal conduct in terms of structural background variables or rational decision-making. Building on research into emotions within sociology, this book seeks to show how criminologists can in fact take emotions seriously and why criminology needs to begin considering emotions as a central element of its theoretical, conceptual and methodological apparatus. Thematically organised and presenting both empirical and theoretical studies, Emotions and Crime pays attention to the different emotional dimensions of crime, victimhood, the criminal justice system, the practice of criminological research and the discipline of criminology. Bringing together the work of an international team of authors and discussing research into violence, punishment, gender, imprisonment and mass atrocity, this volume shows how crime and emotions are inextricably connected, and illustrates both the hidden and pervasive role of emotions in criminological work.
Emotions and Mass Atrocity: Philosophical and Theoretical Explorations
by Thomas Brudholm Johannes LangThe study of genocide and mass atrocity abounds with references to emotions: fear, anger, horror, shame and hatred. Yet we don't understand enough about how 'ordinary' emotions behave in such extreme contexts. Emotions are not merely subjective and interpersonal phenomena; they are also powerful social and political forces, deeply involved in the history of mass violence. Drawing on recent insights from philosophy, psychology, history, and the social sciences, this volume examines the emotions of perpetrators, victims, and bystanders. Editors Thomas Brudholm and Johannes Lang have brought together an interdisciplinary group of prominent scholars to provide an in-depth analysis of the nature, value, and role of emotions as they relate to the causes and dynamics of mass atrocities. The result is a new perspective on the social, political, and moral dimensions of emotions in the history of collective violence and its aftermath.

Emotions and Social Change: Historical and Sociological Perspectives (Routledge Studies in Social and Political Thought #89)
by David Lemmings Ann BrooksThis edited collection takes a critical perspective on Norbert Elias’s theory of the "civilizing process," through historical essays and contemporary analysis from sociologists and cultural theorists. It focuses on changes in emotional regimes or styles and considers the intersection of emotions and social change, historically and contemporaneously. The book is set in the context of increasing interest among humanities and social science scholars in reconsidering the significance of emotion and affect in society, and the development of empirical research and theorizing around these subjects. Some have labeled this interest as an "affective turn" or a "turn to affect," which suggests a profound and wide-ranging reshaping of disciplines. Building upon complex theoretical models of emotions and social change, the chapters exemplify this shift in analysis of emotions and affect, and suggest different approaches to investigation which may help to shape the direction of sociological and historical thinking and research.
Emotions and Social Movements (Routledge Advances in Sociology #Vol. 14)

Sociologists and political activists around the world will find this volume to be of great interest due to its wide-ranging approach and its unique emphasis on the role of emotion in protest, dissent and social movements.
Emotions as Commodities: Capitalism, Consumption and Authenticity (Routledge Studies in the Sociology of Emotions)
by Eva IllouzCapitalism has made rationality into a pervasive feature of human action and yet, far from heralding a loss of emotionality, capitalist culture has been accompanied with an unprecedented intensification of emotional life. This raises the question: how could we have become increasingly rationalized and more intensely emotional? Emotions as Commodities offers a simple hypothesis: that consumer acts and emotional life have become closely and inseparably intertwined with each other, each one defining and enabling the other. Commodities facilitate the experience of emotions, and so emotions are converted into commodities. The contributors of this volume present the co-production of emotions and commodities as a new type of commodity that has gone unseen and unanalyzed by theories of consumption – emodity. Indeed, this innovative book explores how emodity includes atmospherical or mood-producing commodities, relation-marking commodities and mental commodities, all of which the purpose it is to change and improve the self. Analysing a variety of modern day situations such as emotional management through music, creation of urban sexual atmospheres and emotional transformation through psychotherapy, Emotions as Commodities will appeal to scholars, postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers interested in fields such as Sociology, Cultural Studies, Marketing, Anthropology and Consumer Studies.

Emotions in Command: Biology, Bureaucracy, and Cultural Evolution
by Frank K. SalterThis book is part of a quest for a general theory of organizations valid in all cultures. Central to Frank Salter's investigation is the question of social power: why people obey their superiors. His approach is to locate the nature of organizational power in the behavioral details of hierarchical interactions in the institutional settings in which they occur.
Emotions in Conflict: Inhibitors and Facilitators of Peace Making (Routledge Studies in Political Psychology)
by Eran HalperinSocial and political psychologists have attempted to reveal the reasons why individuals and societies that acknowledge that peace would improve their personal and collective well-being, and are aware of the required actions needed to promote it, are simply incapable of making this step forward. Some social psychologists have advocated the idea that certain societal beliefs and collective memories about the nature of the opponent, the in-group, the history, and the current state of the conflict distort the perceptions of society members and prevent them from identifying opportunities for peace. But these cognitive barriers capture only part of the picture. Could identifying the role of discrete emotions in conflicts and conflict resolution potentially provide a wide platform for developing pinpoint conflict resolution interventions? Using a vast array of primary sources, critical literature analysis, and firsthand personal experiences in various conflict zones (Middle East, Cyprus, Bosnia, and Northern Ireland), Eran Halperin introduces a new perspective on psychological barriers to peace. Halperin focuses on various emotional mechanisms that hamper peace processes, even when parties face real opportunities for conflict resolution. More specifically, he explores how hatred, anger, fear, angst, hope, despair, empathy, guilt, and shame, combined with various emotion regulation strategies, provide emotions-based explanations for people's attitudinal and behavioral reactions to peace-related events during the ongoing process of conflict resolution. Written in a clear and accessible style, Emotions in Conflict offers a thought-provoking and pioneering insight into the role discrete intergroup emotions play in impeding, as well as facilitating, peace processes in intractable conflicts. This book is essential reading for those who study intractable conflicts and their resolutions, and those who are interested in the ‘real-world’ implication of recent theories and findings on emotion and emotion regulation.
Emotions in Crisis: Youth and Social Change in Spain
by Nina MargiesWe usually speak of crisis in numbers: decline in purchasing power, rise in unemployment rates or decreasing levels of life satisfaction. But what do people feel when their supposed securities for their futures crumble? The stories of the young adults after the 2008 economic crisis in Spain provide us with answers. This book shows how their loss of future prospects led to feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, frustration and resentment, and how they dealt with these emotions. Combining the sociology of emotions with Bourdieu's practice theory, Emotions in Crisis analyses the impact of structural changes in society on individual and collective emotions.

Emotions in Culture and Everyday Life: Conceptual, Theoretical and Empirical Explorations (Classical and Contemporary Social Theory)
by Michael Hviid JacobsenThis volume describes and analyses a series of emotions prevalent in everyday life and culture, with each chapter exploring the main facets of a particular emotion and considering the ways in which it manifests itself in and informs our culture and lives. Considering our expression, conception, management and sanctioning of emotions, and the ways in which these have changed over time, as well as the ways in which we can theorise particular emotional states, authors ask how certain emotions are linked to culture and society and what roles they play in politics and contemporary life. With examples and case studies taken from research into media, culture and social life, Emotions in Culture and Everyday Life will appeal to scholars of sociology, anthropology, psychology, media and cultural studies and philosophy with interests in the emotions.
Emotions in Digital Interactions: Ethnopsychologies of Angels' Mothers in Online Bereavement Communities
by Irene Rafanell Maja SawickaCombining the conceptual tools of interactionist and social constructionist positions, this book presents an in-depth investigation of emotions in digital interactions. Through the central case study of online bereavement communities for women who have suffered perinatal loss, this volume highlights the significance of affective sanctioning as constitutive of group dynamics and practice. The authors chart the emergence of a new ethnopsychology of motherhood—the category of ‘Angels’ Mothers’—arising from the localized practices of a community whose experience of grief is otherwise disenfranchised. Through their detailed theoretical exploration of the centrality of micro-situational dynamics, alongside the rich empirical illustration of collectively shared feeling rules and norms, Rafanell and Sawicka develop a naturalistic approach to the analysis of empirical data, providing insights for policy-making interventions.
Emotions in Finance
by Jocelyn PixleyMoney is a promise with future benefits or dangers that are unknowable and incalculable. The financial sector is an attempt to beat uncertainty by speculating on whether prices will rise or fall. No matter how often the folly of this opportunism is shown through crisis after crisis of trust, efforts to defeat uncertainty persist. Yet uncertainty is unavoidable. Squeezed in one place, it emerges in another. Based on extensive interviews with leading actors in the financial sector, this book argues that the only way to cope with uncertainty is by relying on emotions and values. It presents an original explanation of how booms and busts arise from internal disputes over the emotions of trust between global financial corporations. Confidence and suspicion alternate between which strategy may beat competitors and who is cheating whom. Just as the first edition warned of continuing dangers in finance's betrayal of society's trust, this new edition provides a sociological explanation of how these irrational quests for certainty contributed to the current financial crisis in the credibility of money.
