Beschreibung

The Routledge History of Emotions in the Modern World brings together a diverse array of scholars to offer an overview of the current and emerging scholarship of emotions in the modern world. Across thirty-six chapters, this work enters the field of emotion from a range of angles.

Named emotions - love, anger, fear - highlight how particular categories have been deployed to make sense of feeling and their evolution over time. Geographical perspectives provide access to the historiographies of regions that are less well-covered by English-language sources, opening up global perspectives and new literatures. Key thematic sections are designed to intersect with critical historiographies, demonstrating the value of an emotions perspective to a range of areas. Topical sections direct attention to the role of emotions in relations of power, to intimate lives and histories of place, as products of exchanges across groups, and as deployed by new technologies and medias. The concepts of globalisation and modernity run through the volume, acting as foils for comparison and analytical tools.

The Routledge History of Emotions in the Modern World is the perfect resource for all students and scholars interested in the history of emotions across the world from 1700.

Rezensionen / Stimmen

'Barclay and Stearns have provided an edition that excels well beyond a summary of the state of the field, as they highlight fresh connections between modern history and the global history of emotions. The consummate introduction may become the standard historiography for the history of emotions and sets up an edition that succeeds through purposeful diversification within each of its multiple themes: global contexts, geographical perspectives, embodiment and place, structures of power, and emotional exchanges.'

Andrew Kettler, Kenyon College, USA

'This is a ground-breaking work that brings together the histories of emotions as a global history. A maturing field of scholarship, the history of emotions has done remarkable work in tracking the development of anger, love, jealousy, pity, happiness and other human (and animal) emotions. This collection of essays takes carefully toll of this work and moves beyond the national and regional boundaries by tracing the makeup and changes of emotions in their linguistic, bodily, and material expressions in global contexts. This highly readable book is a must for advanced undergraduate students as well as graduate students and established scholars of the history of emotions.'

Heikki Lempa, Moravian University, USA
