WiSe 17/18: Emotion, Culture and Social Organization
Christian von Scheve/Thomas Stodulka
Kommentar
Emotions are an integral part of human social life. They are inseparable from thinking and acting and are central to social interactions and relationships. Although the capacity to experience emotions is a human universal, emotions are substantially shaped by cultural and social structural forces. This is manifest in the many ways in which emotions are experienced, expressed, communicated, valued, regulated, and represented. In this course, we will explore the interplay between emotion, culture and social stratification within the following realm: first, we will discuss what emotions are, how they can be understood at social and cultural levels, and how they impact individual and social life. Second, you will learn how culture, in a broad understanding, shapes the experience and expression of emotion and the meanings that are attached to specific emotions. This includes, for example, discussions of the role of social norms, values, gender, identity, or social status. Third, we will focus on differences in emotional experience and emotional behavior vis-à-vis social stratification, power asymmetries and social inequalities. This includes comparative ethnographic and sociological studies within different cultural contexts as well as issues related to migration, ethnicity, and transnationalization. Schließen
