With a foreword by David Riesman, author of The Lonely Crowd.
Introducing a new term to the sociological lexicon: 'postemotionalism',
Stjepan Mestrovic argues that the focus of postmodernism has been on knowledge
and information, and he demonstrates how the emotions in mass industrial
societies have been neglected to devastating effect.
Using contempoary examples, the author shows how emotion has become
increasingly separated from action; how - in a world of disjointed and
synthetic emotions - social solidarity has become more problematic; and how
compassion fatigue has increasingly replaced political commitment and
responsibility. Mestrovic discusses the relation between knowledge and the
emotions in thinkers as diverse as Durkheim, Baudrillard, Ritzer, Riesman, and
Orwell.
This stimulating and provocative work concludes with a discussion of the
postemotional society, where peer groups replace the government as the means
of social control.
