Anna Parkinson examines the emotions explicitly manifested or addressed in a variety of German cultural artifacts, while also identifying previously unacknowledged (and under-theorized) affective structures implicitly at work during the country's national crisis. Much of the scholarship in the expanding field of affect theory distrusts Freudian psychoanalysis, which does not differentiate between emotion and affect. One of the book's major contributions is that it offers an analytical distinction between emotion and affect, finding a compelling way to talk about affect and emotion that is informed by affect theory but that integrates psychoanalysis. The study draws on the psychoanalytic writings of Freud, Margarete and Alexander Mitscherlich, and Andr©♭ Green, while engaging with interdisciplinary theorists of affect including Barbara Rosenwein, Lauren Berlant, Ann Cvetkovich, and Eve Kosofsk Sedgwick, among many others; 'Offers a truly original, even pathbreaking, contribution to the study of postwar West German culture, while making a very important intervention in the theoretical debate on the study of emotions. Its potential audience includes not only historians and literary critics but the rapidly growing, strongly interdisciplinary community of emotion scholars'--Frank Biess, University of California, San Diego; 'Beautifully written, the book conveys its insights in clear prose and through carefully argued, illuminating readings. Parkinson thoughtfully frames each of her chapters as an inquiry, not simply into the textual nuances of argumentation and rhetoric, but into these texts' place in larger, pragmatic contexts that Parkinson calls 'scenarios.' Consequently, Parkinson attends not only to textual logic but also to perlocutionary effects--nuances of meaning, reception, and emotional tone that would otherwise remain inaudible'-- Joahnnes von Moltke, University of Michigan"--From publisher's website. 650 0 Emotions|xPolitical aspects|zGermany (West)|xHistory. 650 0 Emotions|xSocial aspects|zGermany (West)|xHistory. 650 0 Affect (Psychology)|zGermany (West)|xHistory. 650 0 Social psychology|zGermany (West)|xHistory. 651 0 Germany (West)|xPolitics and government. 651 0 Germany (West)|xSocial conditions. 651 0 Germany (West)|xIntellectual life. 651 0 Germany (West)|xHistory|vSources. 651 0 Germany|xHistory|y1945-1955. 651 0 Germany|xSocial conditions|y1945-1955. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628. 655 7 Sources.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423900. 830 0 Social history, popular culture, and politics in Germany. 907 .b7652291x|b04-12-16|c10-02-15 910 RDA ENRICHED 910 ybp 910 Backstage 910 TOC 910 Hathi Trust report SPM 910 BrownU 970 01 |tIntroduction: Another Country--Emotions after Freud|p1 970 11 |l1.|tGuilt?
