Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Interdisciplinary Exploration of Emotions:
The journal integrates insights from history, sociology, literature, and cultural studies to investigate how emotions shape and are shaped by human experiences across different periods and contexts. - Historical Contextualization of Emotions:
A significant focus is placed on understanding emotions within their historical frameworks, examining how societal norms, cultural practices, and individual experiences influence emotional expressions and interpretations. - Cultural Representations of Emotion:
The journal seeks to analyze how emotions are represented in various cultural artifacts, such as literature, art, and performance, thereby contributing to the understanding of collective emotional landscapes. - Emotional Politics and Social Movements:
There is a consistent emphasis on exploring the role of emotions in political contexts, particularly how emotional appeals can mobilize social movements and influence political discourse. - Gender and Emotion:
The journal often examines the intersections of gender and emotion, investigating how emotional expressions and expectations vary across different genders and how these dynamics impact historical narratives.
Trending and Emerging
- Emotionality in Non-Human Contexts:
There is a rising interest in exploring emotions in relation to non-human entities, particularly animals, as seen in studies addressing animal emotionality and its implications for understanding human emotions. This trend highlights a shift towards more inclusive emotional studies. - Intersection of Emotion and Material Culture:
Recent themes have increasingly examined the connections between emotions and material culture, investigating how objects and environments evoke emotional responses and contribute to cultural narratives. - Emotions and Global Political Movements:
The journal has seen a surge in articles addressing the role of emotions in global political movements, particularly in the context of contemporary issues such as nationalism, migration, and activism, reflecting the urgency of these themes in current discourse. - Embodied Emotions and Selfhood:
Emerging discussions focus on the embodied nature of emotions, particularly how individual identities and selfhood are constructed through emotional experiences, often in historical narratives. This trend emphasizes the personal and subjective dimensions of emotional studies. - Nostalgia and Memory Studies:
The exploration of nostalgia and its emotional implications has gained traction, with recent papers examining how collective memories shape emotional landscapes in various historical contexts.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Psychological Approaches to Emotion:
There seems to be a waning interest in strictly psychological analyses of emotions, particularly those that do not consider broader cultural and historical contexts. This shift suggests a preference for interdisciplinary approaches that incorporate social and cultural dimensions. - Emotional Theories from Classical Antiquity:
Studies focused on ancient philosophical perspectives on emotions, such as those from classical antiquity, are appearing less frequently. This may indicate a move towards more contemporary frameworks that resonate with modern emotional experiences. - Emotional Narratives in Isolated Historical Contexts:
There is a noticeable decline in papers that examine emotions in isolated historical contexts without linking them to broader cultural or social implications. The trend suggests a growing preference for interconnected analyses that emphasize the relational nature of emotions.
