Thomas S Henricks

Selves, Societies, and Emotions

Understanding the Pathways of Experience

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Thought-provoking meditation on how people discover and reproduce the 'meaning' of their social life - includes the impact of electronic media.

---

Building on contributions from sociology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, literature, and neuroscience, Henricks develops a more general account of how people discover and reproduce the "meanings" of their involvements with others. Among its many themes are treatments of selves as "projections of personhood," of the ways in which self-expression has changed historically and is now experienced in our electronically mediated era, of emotions as "framing judgments," and of ritual, play, communitas, and work as four distinctive "pathways of experience."
