Leitgefühle der Moderne soziologisch betrachtet, Hoffnung/Enttäuschung/Neid der kapitalistischen Wirtschaftsordnung, Zorn/Furcht/Heimatlosigkeit im Rahmen der nationalstaatsgebundenen demokratischen Ordnung, Scham/Stolz/Eifersucht/Liebe in der unter Druck geratenen Intimsphäre. Alles recht interessant und erhellend, die Conclusio allerdings vorhersehbar: Nix (wichtiges) verleugnen, auf die innere Stimme hören. Wir bemühen uns.

Arlie Russell Hochschild: The Managed Heart : Commercialization of Human Feeling (2012)

The Managed Heart: Commercialization of Human Feeling, by Arlie Russell Hochschild, was first published in …

After two books by #EvaIllouz on #capitalism and #emotion, this one by #Hochschild seems like an almost logical step in my new reading adventures! I remember reading « The #secondshift », which she published in the 1980's and it is one of the college assignments that particularly influenced my views on #feminism, especially the issue of housechores sharing (or rather lack thereof) among couples and how this socio-cultural phenomenon has been hampering efforts to reach socio-economic equality between men and women. It seems to me that the #managedheart is located at the crossroad between the aforementioned works. I'll see how it turns out and I already look forward to it.
