This work examines the increasing evidence that emotions are not discrete, hardwired biological events but are influenced and shaped through social, cultural and linguistic processes. By integrating a diversity of scientific approaches, Emotion and Culture goes a long way toward showing that culture penetrates deeply into virtually every component process of emotion: cognitive, linguistic and even psychological and neurochemical elements. Contributions from researchers in a wide range of scientific fields make this book significant in the theory and research for the premise that emotion and culture are mutually and reciprocally related.
