ANTHROPOLOGY OF EMOTIONS
In the past two decades, a growing number of anthropologists have explored emotional dynamics in a variety of geographic and cultural settings, and have developed various, and at times conflicting, theories of emotion.Ìý Kay Milton, Professor of Social Anthropology at Queen's University Belfast, argues for a new ecological understanding of emotion whereby the individual is connected to and learns from the environment
Laurie Taylor is joined by Kay Milton, Editor of Mixed Emotions: Anthropological Studies of Feeling to discuss why anthropologists are interested in emotions and what anthropology can teach us about what people feel.
CELEBRITY CULTURE
From shopping to politics, celebrity culture affects every facet of our lives.Ìý But how does it influence contemporary society?Ìý Are celebrities an important part of our national or cultural identity; and how do they articulate constructions of gender, race, age, class and sexuality?
Laurie Taylor explores some of these issues and asks Andy Medhurst, Lecturer in Media and Cultural Studies at University of Sussex, and Ellis Cashmore, Professor of Culture, Media and Sport at Staffordshire University, how and why celebrity culture has become a serious subject to study.
