1. Unnatural Emotions
Everyday Sentiments on a Micronesian Atoll & Their Challenge to Western Theory
This insightful work delves into the intricate relationship between culture and emotions, challenging the Western notion of emotions as universal and biologically determined. Through an ethnographic study of the Ifaluk people in Micronesia, it reveals how emotions are deeply embedded in cultural contexts and social structures. The book argues that emotions are not merely internal states but are shaped by cultural norms, values, and practices, offering a fresh perspective on how societies influence emotional experiences and expressions.
