Description
Compassion: The Culture and Politics of an Emotion explores how our understanding of compassion is shaped by history and social context. Through a collection of essays, this book examines the complex ways in which compassion emerges in specific scenes and situations.
The authors draw on literature, psychoanalysis, and social history to provide a nuanced analysis of compassion as a culturally constructed concept. By examining how compassion is performed, negotiated, and contested, this book offers a unique perspective on the role of emotions in shaping our relationships with others.
