This edited collection interrogates the troubled relationship between emotion and work to shed light on the feelings and meaning of both paid and unpaid labour from the late nineteenth to the twenty-first century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eCentral to this book is a reappraisal of 'emotional labour', now associated with the household and 'life admin' work largely undertaken by women and which reflects and perpetuates gender inequalities. Critiquing this term, and the history of how work has made us feel, \u003ci\u003eFeelings and Work in Modern History\u003c\/i\u003e explores the changing values we have ascribed to our labour, examines the methods deployed by workplaces to manage or 'administrate' our emotions, and traces feelings through 19th, 20th and 21st century workplaces in Europe, Asia and South America. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eExploring the damages wrought to physical and emotional health by certain workplaces and practices, critiquing the pathologisation of some emotional responses to work, and acknowledging the joy and meaning people derive from their labour, this book appraises the notion of a 'work-life balance', explores the changing notions of professionalism and critically engages with the history of capitalism. In doing so, it interrogates the lasting impact of some of these histories on the current and future emotional landscape of labour.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Agnes Arnold-Forster\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350197513\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350197510\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/24\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.58d","brand":"Agnes Arnold-Forster","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44077917798655,"sku":"9781350197510","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1922078-f916-49af-aa9f-92cdbceafeb8.jpg?v=1685472499","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/feelings-and-work-in-modern-agnes-arnold-forster-9781350197510","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
