Metaphor and Emotion: Language, Culture, and Body in Human Feeling - Studies in Emotion and Social Interaction
Kovecses, Zoltan (Lorand Eotvos University, Budapest)
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.
