InThe Cultural Politics of the Emotions, Sara Ahmed develops a new methodology for reading "the emotionality of texts."

Of interest to readers in gender studies and cultural studies, the psychology and sociology of emotions, and phenomenology and psychoanalysis,The Cultural Politics of the Emotionsoffers new ways of thinking about our inner and our outer lives.
