User:Godragons/Emotions and culture
According to some theories, emotions are universal reactions, albeit affected by culture. Emotions are "internal reactions that can, but do not always, make themselves observable through expression and behavior".[1] While some emotions are universal and are experienced in similar ways as a reaction to similar events across all cultures, other emotions show considerable cultural differences in their antecedent events, the way they are experienced, the reactions they provoke, and the way they are perceived by the surrounding society. According to other theories, termed social constructionists, emotions are more deeply culturally influenced[2]. The components of emotions are universal, but the patterns are social constructions. Some also theorize that culture is affected by the emotions of the people.
Cultural studies of emotions
[edit]Research on the relationship between culture and emotions dates back to 1872 when Darwin[3] argued that emotions and the expression of emotions are universal. Since that time, the universality of the seven basic emotions[4] (i.e., happiness, sadness, anger, contempt, fear, disgust, and surprise) has ignited a discussion amongst psychologists, anthropologists, and sociologists. While emotions themselves are universal phenomena, they are always influenced by culture. How emotions are experienced, expressed, perceived, and regulated varies as a function of culturally normative behavior by the surrounding society. Therefore, it can be said that culture is a necessary framework for researchers to understand variations in emotions.[5]
Is this all there is for cultural studies???
