In the past, NWM actors have tried to build public support by conveying what they believe are the ‘objective facts’ of repository technologies, hence countering public prejudices and fears on the subject. Thus, while the public has been represented as emotional by implementers, implementers have portrayed themselves as guided by mere unemotional reason, facts and ‘truth’. Faced with continued public opposition, however, implementers have now adopted a different approach that explicitly addresses public emotions. In this article, we explore contemporary siting policy as a case of ‘discursive projection’ of public emotions – that is, not as a ‘true’ account of public emotions but rather as indicative of implementers’ understanding of public emotions, of that which is rational, and that which is not. In the analysis, we understand policy as an ‘emotion regime’ that establishes which feelings are compatible – and which are not – with the ‘truth’ of repositories for spent nuclear fuel. Understanding the relation between emotions and reason from an emotional-sociological perspective, we show how the emotion regime in policy has been transformed from being a clear-cut case of the conventional approach to an at-first-glance radical understanding of the relation between rationality and emotion. The analysis shows which emotions are described as a threat to reason and which are described as aiding implementers’ reason and rationality, hence which emotions are idealised – and which are rejected.","PeriodicalId":29742,"journal":{"name":"Emotions and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135061400","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We specifically ask what the relationship between collective emotions and neoliberal political subjectivity in post-Soviet space is. Based on our empirical data, we construct three ideal types of political subjectivities wherein each holds a different narrative about the neoliberal state. We show the first two dominated among our respondents in Latvia while the third was prevalent among emigrant Latvians. We find that respondents’ narratives dominant at home were framed by neoliberal feeling rules which fostered optimistic thinking (narrative of resilience) and feelings of individual responsibility (narrative of legitimating) silencing the emotion of anger necessary to form a critical democratic dialogue with the state. Meanwhile, emigrant Latvians voiced a more socially and politically aware critique towards the Latvian state, austerity politics and social injustice (narrative of anger). We provide implications for this theory of post-Soviet political subjectivities at the end.","PeriodicalId":29742,"journal":{"name":"Emotions and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135425571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, I use interviews with graduate students – a group whose relative social status changes routinely – to illuminate the types of emotion work that occasion positive and negative feelings. I find that graduate students often felt positive when performing emotional labour down the academic hierarchy to undergraduate students but felt negative about their emotional labour when performing it up the academic hierarchy to professors. I also find that women, people of colour and international students find their emotional labour particularly distressing when they perceive it to be an expectation of their marginalised social identity. Using identity theory, I show how status dynamics underlie people's emotional reactions when their identities are at risk of being disconfirmed. This research study contributes to the field of the sociology of emotions by specifying that status matters for whether emotional labour is a positive or negative experience for workers.","PeriodicalId":29742,"journal":{"name":"Emotions and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136129951","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Consequently, these measures were met with widespread resistance. It was argued that this resistance was driven by anti-scientific attitudes, as individuals refused to comply with mask mandates and lockdowns, and later resisted vaccination efforts. This article asks whether this is an accurate characterisation of those challenging efforts to combat the COVID-19 pandemic. To address this question, this article draws on fieldwork at medical freedom rallies. These rallies were explicitly organised to challenge policies aimed at containing the spread of COVID-19. The primary finding is that rather than being a conflict between pro- and anti-scientific forces, the conflict instead largely stemmed from who can properly lay claim to the mantle of science. Attendees questioned the legitimacy of the science justifying limitations on their personal liberty and suggested that extra-scientific concerns such as a desire for political control had compromised the objectivity of public health experts. This work contributes to ongoing debates concerning institutional trust and the role of expertise in democratic governance.","PeriodicalId":29742,"journal":{"name":"Emotions and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-08-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47470478","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is pleasantly warm in Hamburg and the pavement has that smell that comes after a rain shower. The city emits a host of other city-in-the-summer smells, sending each of us back to past times. Someone remembers the happiness of walking home from school on steaming, wet-smelling tarmac. A woman is smiling at the memory of eating waffles in the park, the syrup running down her chin. A man stops to sniff the smell of sausages in the air, not quite like the ones at ‘home’. Suddenly he feels homesick. At the university, a conference begins: the smell of linoleum blends with the particular aroma of coffee poured out of a university catering flask. Standing next to the coffee are colleagues from the Emotions Research Network in their full corporeal form. Some are taller than we remember; we have to lean up for the hug. Others have a smile that is just so good to see in person. As we encounter each other and interact after two years of online conferences, the importance of the full range of our senses becomes clear and the feelings and memories flow. The European Sociological Association Emotions Research Network (ESA RN11) is having its mid-term meeting in Hamburg. It is the end of August 2022, and with a mixture of alarm and delight the long-standing members of the network are realising that it will soon be 20 years since our first mid-term in Augsburg, Germany, in 2004. We think back to that time, just 15 of us in a meeting room in a hotel. Smells of breakfast, hotel carpet, beer and meat. We gave papers, but we had more time for discussion. There was much discussion about how to define emotions. What is an emotion? How do we feel? What conceptual tools might be useful for understanding","PeriodicalId":29742,"journal":{"name":"Emotions and Society","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2023-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41573066","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
