Ordering Emotions in Europe, 1100-1800 investigates how emotions were conceptualised and practised in the medieval and early modern period, as they ordered systems of thought and practice--from ...philosophy and theology, to science and medicine.
This study compared participants' speech acts in low-hostile versus moderate-hostile interpersonal episodes in time-limited psychodynamic psychotherapy. Sixty-two cases from the Vanderbilt II ...psychotherapy project were categorized as low or moderate in interpersonal hostility based on ratings of interpersonal process using Structural Analysis of Social Behavior (Benjamin, 1996). Representative episodes were coded using a taxonomy of speech acts (Stiles, 1992), and speech acts were compared across low- and moderate-hostile episodes. Therapists in moderate-hostility episodes used more interpretations and edifications, and fewer questions and reflections. Patients in moderate-hostility episodes used more disclosures and fewer edifications. Content coding showed that therapist interpretations with a self/intrapsychic self focus were more characteristic of moderate-hostility than low-hostility episodes, whereas the two types of episodes contained similar levels of interpretations focused on the patient's interpersonal relationships and the therapeutic relationship.

Within psychology, emotion is often treated as something private and personal. In contrast, this book tries to understand emotion from the 'outside,' by examining the everyday social settings in ...which it operates. Three levels of social influence are considered in decreasing order of inclusiveness, starting with the surrounding culture and subculture, moving on to the more delimited organization or group, and finally focusing on the interpersonal setting.
"This is one of the best and most comprehensive treatments of emotion available today. The authors, each an accomplished researcher in his or her own right, have done a superb job integrating a large and diverse set data. Theoretically sound, empirically grounded, and global in scope, the book is also clearly and engagingly written. A major accomplishment." -- James R. Averill, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "At first glance, emotions are simple, biological events inside a person. This important book by three distinguished researchers argues, convincingly, that emotions are not so simple. Instead, they are deeply social events. This book is required reading for anyone who deals on a practical or a scientific level with emotion." -- James A. Russell, Boston College "An exciting movement is occurring in the psychology of emotions. Rather than seeing emotions only in the heads and bodies of individuals, psychologists are beginning to explore how emotions align and realign relationships between people. Anyone interested in this fascinating new direction could do no better than to read the book by Brian Parkinson, Agneta Fischer and Tony Manstead: a fine book on an up-to-the-moment topic." -- Keith Oatley, University of Toronto "The authors present a deeply social conception of emotion with arguments that are passionate yet balanced, scholarly yet accessible. Anyone with an interest in human emotions will want to read this book." -- W. Gerrod Parrott, Georgetown University

Emotions underpin how political communities are formed and function. Nowhere is this more pronounced than in times of trauma. The emotions associated with suffering caused by war, terrorism, natural ...disasters, famine and poverty can play a pivotal role in shaping communities and orientating their politics. This book investigates how 'affective communities' emerge after trauma. Drawing on several case studies and an unusually broad set of interdisciplinary sources, it examines the role played by representations, from media images to historical narratives and political speeches. Representations of traumatic events are crucial because they generate socially embedded emotional meanings which, in turn, enable direct victims and distant witnesses to share the injury, as well as the associated loss, in a manner that affirms a particular notion of collective identity. While ensuing political orders often re-establish old patterns, traumatic events can also generate new 'emotional cultures' that genuinely transform national and transnational communities.
Taking a cognitive approach to musical meaning, Arnie Cox explores embodied experiences of hearing music as those that move us both consciously and unconsciously. In this pioneering study that draws ...on neuroscience and music theory, phenomenology and cognitive science, Cox advances his theory of the "mimetic hypothesis," the notion that a large part of our experience and understanding of music involves an embodied imitation in the listener of bodily motions and exertions that are involved in producing music. Through an often unconscious imitation of action and sound, we feel the music as it moves and grows. With applications to tonal and post-tonal Western classical music, to Western vernacular music, and to non-Western music, Cox's work stands to expand the range of phenomena that can be explained by the role of sensory, motor, and affective aspects of human experience and cognition.

I processi neurocognitivi che ci consentono di interagire con gli altri in modo adeguato costituiscono la “cognizione sociale” (CS) che si riferisce specificamente al modo in cui percepiamo, ...elaboriamo e interpretiamo le informazioni sociali. Funzionamento emotivo, capacità di inferire gli stati mentali degli altri, empatia, pragmatica e conoscenze sociali sono abilità essenziali per vivere insieme armoniosamente, cooperare e navigare in un mondo sociale in continua evoluzione. Supportata da alcuni processi cognitivi trasversali, la CS modella i nostri comportamenti sociali quotidiani. Questo articolo propone una panoramica delle conoscenze attuali sulla CS e le funzioni che vi sono associate. Ne presenta i principali correlati neuroanatomici e discute quindi le malattie frequentemente associate a un disturbo della cognizione sociale, prima di concludere con un inventario dei principali strumenti neuropsicologici utilizzati per la sua valutazione clinica. L’articolo sottolinea l’importanza delle funzioni della CS nei comportamenti umani e l’adattamento sociale e sostiene una valutazione sistematica di questo dominio cognitivo in neurologia, psichiatria e geriatria, data l’importanza della CS nelle relazioni interpersonali, nelle attività quotidiane, nel benessere, nel percorso di cura e nell’impatto di eventuali difficoltà sulle persone vicine ai soggetti interessati.

Human and social studies on emotions are diversely interested in the reality emotions signify. Within this field, the discourse analysis approach focuses its attention on the linguistic expression of ...emotions and cannot thus extend its evaluation on psychological or sociological implications. What is said can be only explored at a linguistic level, also from a rhetorical perspective that looks at the effects created by discourse categories and topical construction of emotions. Knowledge of findings in related disciplines will nevertheless facilitate the deciphering of discourse analysis of the mechanisms underlying the subject’s intentions, social interactions or representations. In this paper, great attention will be paid to the notion of the intentional value of emotions and of their cognitive content. This pertains to a kind of knowledge derived from belief rather than a form of knowledge earned through evidence. As a sensitive reaction to sensation, emotion expresses itself in behaviour, but as a form of knowledge, emotion has anyhow a rational value based on social agreement and collective representations. Within a discourse analysis’ perspective, emotions and the knowledge they involve are nevertheless the effect not only of what words signify on an emotional ground, but also of the context, the situation and the speakers’ identities. These factors, the interaction of which can be studied from a rhetorical point of view, are to be considered when the influence on others is the aim of a speech, as happens in political discourse.

True Emotions discusses several key problems in emotion research. The question about the true nature of emotions focuses on the role of cognition in human emotions at different levels of analysis: ...functional role, types of processes and representations, and neural implementation. Truth to the self, or authenticity, has two meanings, psychological and normative, where the latter is analyzed as coherence between the evaluative content of an emotion and the subject's internally justified beliefs and values. Truth to the world is argued to be a matter of correct evaluative representation of the emotional object on the one hand, and the existence of the object, or the actuality or accurate probability of the represented situation on the other hand. Finally, authenticity and truth are applied to analyses of the authenticity of occupational emotions and the constitution of sentimental values, respectively. Recommended reading for philosophers, psychologists, sociologists, and gender researchers.
