Synopsis
In this collection of 11 essays, contributors describe their most recent work in the anthropology of emotions, an interdisciplinary field which is becoming increasingly popular in its commentary about the natural or cultural nature of emotions, their contributions to the political, cultural and social, and their relationship to fieldwork and memory. General topics include feelings and human ecology, Darwin on the expression of emotions, imagination in anthropological studies, resentment in a sense of self, theories in religious rituals, art and resolution, the negotiation of fear in Northern Ireland, subjectivity in landscapes, grief amongst Spanish Gitanos, cross-species emotional affinity in Japan, and the memories, emotions and identities of the expelled.
