Description
The Cultural Politics of Emotion by Sara Ahmed explores how emotions shape our relationships and interactions, particularly in the context of power and politics. Ahmed examines how emotions are used to maintain and challenge existing power structures, and how this can be applied to areas such as feminist and queer politics. Through case studies on topics like international terrorism, asylum, and migration, Ahmed confronts the difficult issues head-on, developing a theory of how emotions work and their impact on our daily lives. This second edition includes a substantial new afterword on 'Emotions and Their Objects', providing an original contribution to the field of affect studies, as well as an updated bibliography.
