Selves, Societies, and Emotions : Understanding the Pathways of Experience

Building on contributions from sociology, psychology, anthropology, philosophy, literature, and neuroscience, Henricks develops a more general account of how people discover and reproduce the'meanings'of their involvements with others. Among its many themes are treatments of selves as'projections of personhood,'of the ways in which self-expression has changed historically and is now experienced in our electronically mediated era, of emotions as'framing judgments,'and of ritual, play, communitas, and work as four distinctive'pathways of experience.'
