The emotions have not had an easy time with the social sciences. For most of their history, disciplines such as political science, economics and sociology have cast them on the subordinate side of a binary opposition in which they were viewed as the ‘other’ of reason and the enemy of science. However, this is no longer the case, or at least, no longer only the case. In recent years there has been a widespread re-evaluation of the emotions and the role they play in social life. This has been particularly true within sociology, in both the US (Turner, 2007; Turner and Stets, 2005, Stets and Turner, 2006) and in Europe (Barbalet, 1998, 2002a; Flam, 1990; Hopkins et al., 2009), where a vibrant and varied body of work is gradually emerging. |
