{"product_id":"political-agency-and-the-medicalisation-dan-degerman-9781399504393","title":"Political Agency and the Medicalisation of Negative Emotions","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores negative emotions like anger, fear and grief as important drivers of political action. It examines how treating these feelings as medical problems affects society. Drawing on the political thought of Hannah Arendt, the book develops an original understanding of political emotions as fragile and vulnerable to attacks disputing their relevance to public life. It presents and analyses four case studies of emotional politics in the UK, ranging from assertions that UKIP supporters were emotionally primitive to diagnoses of anxiety disorder in the Brexit referendum's aftermath. It demonstrates how ideas of emotion and mental disorder might be used to both empower and disempower people politically. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dan Degerman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399504398\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399504393\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/05\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.03lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.50d","brand":"Dan Degerman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44130066071807,"sku":"9781399504393","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_55a246bf-6c89-4632-ac47-8a174ba22c9f.jpg?v=1687467372","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/political-agency-and-the-medicalisation-dan-degerman-9781399504393","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
