Metaphor and Emotion

Klappentext How human emotions are 'constructed' from individuals' embodied experiences in different cultural settings. Zusammenfassung Many researchers claim that emotions arise either from human biology (i.e.! biological reductionism) or as products of culture (i.e.! social constructionism). This book challenges this division between the body and culture by showing how human emotions are to a large extent 'constructed' from individuals' embodied experiences in different cultural settings.
