Jasper -- Emotions in politics : from the ballot to suicide terrorism / Jack Barbalet -- Applying theory in practice : politics and emotions in everyday life / Simon Clarke, Paul Hoggett and Simon Thompson -- Envy and ressentiment / Simon Clarke -- Hatred of thought / C.

Summary: "Emotion, Politics and Society critically addresses the intersection between power, politics and the emotions. This is a very timely project given the centrality of mass emotions such as fear and humiliation on the world stage today. Challenging traditional dichotomies which counterpose rationalist to non-rationalist epistemologies, it offers a sustained argument for a more complete and integrated rationalism and helps us understand emotions in contemporary social and political life, for example, racism, populism, mass grief, political protest and processes of paranoia and terror."--Publisher description.
