For nearly thirty years, sociologists have increasingly focused on theorizing and researching human emotions. The sociology of emotions emerged as a distinct field in the 1970s, a surprisingly late development given the fundamental role emotions play in human behavior, interaction, and social organization. This book provides an updated overview of the diverse theoretical and research traditions that have shaped the study of emotions. Leading scholars in the field review their contributions and the work of others, offering insights into key approaches.
