Research Handbook on the Sociology of Emotion
Anti-nuclear movements in the US, Europe, and Asia
This chapter focuses on protests against nuclear energy for civilian uses in the US, Europe, and Asia. It analyzes protests against government nuclear energy plans and policies. For Europe, it compares policy outcomes, explains the counterintuitive French case, and highlights the Swedish and German policy reversals, while for the Asian continent, it offers a comparative case study of Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. The text stresses such explanat…
Civil Society and Professions
It is important to include civil society in the purview of the sociology of professions because many professionals and professions interact not just with the state and the market but also with civil society actors. Moreover, members of professions engage in civic action and political activism not just as citizens or single professionals but also as the (founding or regular) members of their professional associations. They also establish think-tan…
Truth commissions and the International Criminal Court
This chapter focuses on institutions of ‘global justice’ – that is to say, on institutions dealing with humanitarian law and human rights such as truth commissions (TCs), international criminal tribunals, and the International Criminal Court in The Hague. The global justice movement is said to have originated in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War, when the Allies instituted the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg as well as …
The study of transnational movements
Transregional and transnational mobilizations are nothing new. It suffices to mention the missionary, anti-slave, peace, working-class, women’s or even the scout movement. This chapter recounts a variety of mainly qualitative methods applied in studying contemporary transregional movements without claiming to be exhaustive. The presentation follows social movement chronology and includes several world regions. The anti-apartheid movement constitu…
Inequality and Prejudice. German Social Scientist as Producers of Feeling Rules
This article is about how sociological research in Germany addresses issues that first seem to be unconnected: young new Fascists and migrants. We will present research in these two areas to show how social scientists contribute to feelings about their respective objects of research. We will argue that although both have cultural disorientation of their study objects as their point of departure, they offer differing explanations for it and as a c…

Sexual abuse of children by the Catholic priests in the US
The article focuses on the sexual harassment of children by the Catholic clergy in the US up until the early 2000s. The goal is to show how the emotional regime determining the relations between the clergy and the faithful changed as a result of successive revelations about clerical sexual abuse and the intransigence of the church on this issue. Both deprived it of much of its protective charisma and thus untouchability. Faced with mounting conte…
The transnational movement for Truth, Justice and Reconciliation as an emotional (rule) regime
The text at first focuses on a recent human rights movement for Truth, Justice and Reconciliation (TJ&R) and the War against Impunity. It briefly presents power structures, values, events and mobilizations that have led to some key forms of its institutionalization, such as the Truth Commissions (TCs), International Crime Tribunals (ICTs) and the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. It then poses the question of the emotional regimes …
Authentic emotions as ethical guides
Taking the feminist ethics of care and Taylor’s philosophy of the self as a point of departure, I pose the question whether emotions, as they postulate it, can be assumed to be “authentic” and in that capacity provide moral guidance. Relying on well-known sociological texts by Arlie Hochschild, Norbert Elias and Eva Illouz, I show that the violence-monopolizing nation-state along with the capitalist system of production and consumption have worke…

Anger in Repressive Regimes
A well-established idea is that the powerless, even when they are angered by the relations of domination or their consequences, do not display this anger for fear of negative sanctions. Although in the first part of his Domination and the Arts of ResistanceJames Scott elaborates this idea in a creative manner, he challenges it in the second part of his book. He proposes that when autonomous spaces emerge in the systems of absolute domination, the…

Soziologie der Emotionen
Mit der Bedeutung von Emotionen, Gefühlen und Leidenschaft für Individuum und Gesellschaft haben sich Soziologen seit jeher beschäftigt. Die Soziologie der Emotionen entstand jedoch erst etwa Mitte der 80er Jahre in den USA. Die Autorin zeichnet in diesem Lehrbuch zunächst die Rolle von Emotionen in den Werken der europäischen und amerikanischen Klassiker nach (Simmel, Max Weber, Durkheim, Cooley, Sorokin, Parsons u.a.). Sodann stellt sie die neu…
Corporate Emotions and Emotions in Corporations
Although sociology of organizations never banned emotions from its field of inquiry, first the sociology of emotions elevated them to central research objects. Disparate research on various types of enterprises shows that both managers and employees are much more emotional than most scientists would care to admit. Under constant pressure not to display their fears, anxieties or worries, they have to balance a mixture of emotions attending solidar…
Anxiety and The Successful Oppositional Construction of Societal Reality
Based on narrative interviews and textual materials, the oppositional life world of the Workers' Defense Committee (KOR) in pre; Solidarity Poland is analyzed. In response to oppositional anxieties, KOR activists developed their own sub-universe of meaning. This was a social construction which, elaborated in response to the repressive Polish state, was much more extensive than a typical Western collective action frame. It helped place KOR at the …
Emotional 'Man
Corporate actors are usually analysed from either the rationalistic or normative perspective. This paper proposes a third - emotional - perspective as a complementary point of departure. It also shows, with the help of sundry examples, the many different ways in which corporate actors are in fact emotion-motivated emotion managers
Emotional 'Man
The rational and normative man models have predominated in the social sciences. This paper proposes an emotional 'man' model as an alternative point of departure for analyses of individual, but also of collective and corporate, action. The overall argument is developed in two steps. First, the concepts of 'pure' and 'constrained' emotional 'man' are introduced and developed. Then an emotional interaction model addressing the theme of cooperation …
Market Configurations
The article develops a theoretical framework for studies in economic sociology as a critical alternative to research programmes proposed by Etzioni, Himmelstrand and Smelser. The framework assumes that any real national economy contains only a miniscule segment that can be called market proper and therefore focusses on the dynamics which delinate both market and non-market distributional regimes. Grounded in Weber, the article advances the idea t…
