Introduction: feel your way -- The contingency of pain -- The organisation of hate -- The affective politics of fear -- The performativity of disgust -- Shame before others -- In the name of love -- Queer feelings -- Feminist attachments -- Conclusion: just emotions -- Afterword: emotions and their objects. Summary This book examines how emotions are crucial to politics. Emotions work to define who we are as well as shape what we do. With reference to topical issues, the book suggests that emotions circulate within public culture, as well as shape our encounters with others in everyday life. This is a bold take on the crucial role of emotion in politics. Emotions work to define who we are as well as shape what we do and this is no more powerfully at play than in the world of politics. Ahmed considers how emotions keep us invested in relationships of power, and also shows how this use of emotion could be crucial to feminist and queer political movements. Debates on international terrorism, asylum and migration, as well as reconciliation and reparation are explored through topical case studies. In this textbook the difficult issues are confronted head on. New for this edition: a substantial 15,000-word Afterword on 'Emotions and Their Objects' which provides an original contribution to the burgeoning field of affect studies; a revised Bibliography; and updated throughout. |
