Emotions in History - Lost and Found

Emotions in History - Lost and Found by Ute Frevert

Coming to terms with emotions and how they influence human behaviour, seems to be of the utmost importance to societies that are obsessed with everything neuro. On the other hand, emotions have become an object of constant individual and social manipulation since emotional intelligence emerged as a buzzword of our times. Reflecting on this burgeoning interest in human emotions makes one think of how this interest developed and what fuelled it. From a historian's point of view, it can be traced back to classical antiquity. But it has undergone shifts and changes which can in turn shed light on social concepts of the self and its relation to other human beings (and nature). The volume focuses on the historicity of emotions and explores the processes that brought them to the fore of public interest and debate.

Ute Frevert has been the Director of the Center for the History of Emotions at the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin since 2008. From 2003 to 2007, she was Professor of History at Yale University.
