There is an extensive body of research on protest, but the focus has mostly been on the calculating brain—a byproduct of structuralism and cognitive studies—and less on the feeling brain. James M. Jasper’s work changes that, as he pushes the boundaries of our present understanding of the social world.
Writing something on #ideologies of communication and linguistic #mistakes. Some of the questions I’d like to explore are: how do ideologies construe and are reinforced by online metadiscourses around linguistic mistakes? Do users negotiate/problematise/resist dominant ideologies? How do ideologies relate to #emotions?
Reading suggestions appreciated. @linguistics@academicchatter#linguistics
Are people more likely to volunteer, if their #emotions in a crisis are aligned with those of others?
I am excited to present the current research I conducted together with Christian von Scheve at @freieuniversitaet in the regular session on emotions at #ASA2023.
Hey, affective sociology: If someone is to be persuaded of sth. as a problem or a solution, s/he has to be affected („affiziert“). If you agreed, what literature would you recommend?
I hope other #autists find the following statement validating and righteous-anger-inducing rather than invalidating because it's meant to be the former:
#Alexithymia is not developed by autists due to their #autism. Alexithymia is developed by autists because #neurotypicals continuously invalidate our #emotions until we become utterly confused by them and incapable of expressing (or even of knowing) anything about them.
The #trauma that our society heaps upon autists is the cause of autistic alexithymia, and we really need to talk more about how "normal" people psychologically fuck us.
