TY - BOOK AU - Paperman,Patricia TI - Public and Private Emotions PY - 2013///. N1 - 95 N2 - Mainstream sociological analysis deals mainly with collective emotions. In this perspective, “individual,” “personal,” “partia,” or “private” emotions are devoid of social significance. This paper argues that such a conception misses the sociological relevance of these phenomena. Differentiating emotions along the collective/individual continuum, seeing the former as socially meaningful and the latter as “particular,” “private,” or “personal” can also be understood as a product of power relationships. An alternative ? feminist and gendered ? analysis of emotions could be developed, shedding light on a political dimension of emotional phenomena, and the complex morality of emotions UR - https://shs.cairn.info/journal-multitudes-2013-1-page-164?lang=en&redirect-ssocas=7080 ER -
