| Popis: |
This chapter highlights the impacts of social media on contemporary future thinking, offering the concept of mass emotional events to advance the concept of emotional contagions in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. It sets out this new conceptual framework in contrast to earlier models for thinking about emotional climates and landscapes. It also provides reflections that contrast the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the Black Summer bushfires in Australia as examples of mass emotional phenomena. The chapter looks at recent work on theories of collective emotions that has recognized emotions as phenomena that spread between individuals and groups to form collective emotional moods, landscapes, and climates. It discusses how the COVID-19 pandemic has caused sudden and dramatic shifts in social interaction that warrants a reimagining of emotional contagions. |
