Notes
1. In practice, anthropological interviews—especially when they elicit life story narratives—can be used as a basis for the study of subjectivity, but that is not the focus usually adopted.
2. Martha Nussbaum (Love's Knowledge; Upheavals of Thought) has insisted on the concept of “emotional intelligence”. See also Carol CitationGilligan's conclusions, based on psychological research, that girls tend to make moral judgments based on relationality (“ethics of care”) while boys tend to make moral judgments based on the abstract principle of the highest good of the individual (“ethics of rights”). Gilligan's work has prompted a strand of feminist legal theory advocating the rethinking of legal principles in terms of an “ethics of care”.
3. For an attempt to think through trauma in terms of affect, see Clough (13–4) and CitationCallard and Papoulias (253–6).
4. See also Miller's recently published CitationStuff.
5. See also CitationGoodwin, Jasper, and Polletta's edited volume Passionate Politics.
6. Williams’ “On Structure of Feeling”, originally published in The Long Revolution, is reprinted as Chapter 1 of Jennifer CitationHarding and E. Deidre Pribram's excellent anthology Emotions: A Cultural Reader. The volume brings together key texts from a wide range of disciplines across the humanities and social sciences.
