- This new book by the influential rising star of Sociology of
Culture explores the topical subject of the role of emotions in
contemporary capitalist society.
- This book deals with popular cultural phenomena such as self
help literature, support groups and talk shows and asks how this
has occurred and what are the social consequences.
- This highly topical and well written book offers a new
interpretation of the reasons why the public sphere is saturated
with the spectacles of private emotions and why so many people
define their identity in terms of psychic suffering.
- The author’s previous book on Oprah Winfrey won the American Sociology Association ‘Best Book Award.’
