From  the  Chair’s  Desk  Linda  Francis  Welcome to the Fall 2014 Sociology of Emotions Section Newsletter! It was great to see so many of you at the ASA meetings in August, and a pleasure to see the impressive vibrancy of our section continuing! We had really terrific sessions, one showcasing new directions in research, and the Chair’s hour highlighting international research in our field. I particularly enjoyed meeting our colleagues from TASA, The Australian Sociological Association in their section on Emotions and Affect, and I hope we can continue our collegial efforts in future meetings.

We also had some wonderful submissions to our awards committees. Our section is blessed to have so many talented new and established members producing such exciting work! I want to take this opportunity to thank all the committee members, as well as the past Chair, Jody Clay-Warner, for their dedication and hard work that made this all happen.

I would like to begin this year’s first newsletter with a brief report on the state of the Section. Membership is holding relatively steady at 263 members currently, compared to 275 at this time last year. This is down by about 5%, but most sections are at least slightly down this year, and many have much steeper declines than we.

Nonetheless, as a small section, we can ill afford to lose members. If you have been attending our Business Meetings, you know that the skyrocketing cost of hotel receptions is rapidly sending small sections into fragile financial states, and making even large sections wince. As you can tell from a quick perusal of the Treasurer’s Report later in this newsletter, the reception in San Francisco put a huge hole in our section finances, especially with our decline in membership this year.

Mission The ASA Section on Sociology of Emotions brings together social and behavioral scientists in order to promote the general development of the study of emotions through the exchange of ideas, theory, research, and teaching. Scholars from a variety of backgrounds are members of this section, and collectively encourage the study of emotions in everyday social life. Substantive topics of investigation include: the expression and experience of emotions, emotions in social interaction, identity and emotions, emotions in historical perspective, the cross-cultural study of emotions, emotions and violence, and the traditions of theory and research in the area of emotions.

Fall 2014

From the Chair’s Desk Continued

Reception costs (with the exception of 2011 in Las Vegas) have been steadily rising, to the point that a reception at the same price next year could put us into financial insolvency. In response to this, the Council voted to pursue an offsite reception for 2015, understanding that otherwise we may not get a reception at all. But more on this later.

Maintaining membership is therefore key not only to maintaining our sessions, but also our financial resources. Of course, the main source of lost membership is members who do not renew. Whether due to changing interests or financial exigency, I had always assumed that such nonrenewal was intentional. I was surprised to find out that some nonrenewal appears to be inadvertent. Last summer at the ASAs I reached out to several people at various Emotions-related sessions and events, asking them if they would be willing participate in committees and Section governance this year. Most agreed without hesitation. However, to my surprise – and to theirs – a few of them did not show up on my membership list. Despite volunteering, therefore, these inadvertent non-renewers were ineligible to accept my invitation. With this in mind, I would like to urge everyone to make sure that the Emotions Section Box is checked when you renew your ASA membership. It is easy just to scroll through quickly and not verify. Granted, I am preaching to the choir here; by definition, if you are receiving this newsletter than you are current. But remind your colleagues and Emotions compatriots to check their section selections when they renew!

While you are reminding them of this, you can also bring up what an amazing deal the Emotions Section is. Not only are we one of the least expensive sections, but we offer a great return on that small investment. As a small section, we offer great opportunities to get involved in the governance of our section. In any one year, nearly ten percent of our regular membership is required to staff all of our committees and officer positions; it is the loyalty and enthusiasm of our members that makes these spots possible to fill. Section work is a great piece of service to the profession, and an unparalleled chance to meet and network with your colleagues in the field. If you are interested in getting involved in Section governance, please let me or your Council and committee members know!

This year in particular, your membership in the Section gets you an extra perk in what we hope will be a fabulous reception! For the 2015 ASA meetings, the Emotions Section is teaming up with our old friend the Social Psychology Section and our new one, the Section on Altruism, Morality and Social Solidarity for an exciting joint reception at a new location. We have arranged to hold our first off-site reception at a bar next to the Palmer House Hotel. Even though the cost to the three sections will be about 1/3 of the reception bill in San Francisco, we will have much more to offer! Bring your appetites, there will be plenty of food, and the first hundred section members through the door receive a voucher for a free glass of wine or beer! The reception will be at The Bar Below, right next door to the Palmer House, on Sunday night of the meetings, from 7:00-9:00pm. I will send out a reminder on the listserv with more details next summer.

Plans for the 2015 ASA meetings in Chicago are well underway. Martha Copp of East Tennessee State University will be organizing our section paper session, entitled “Emotions and Social Worlds.” Papers for this session should be submitted through the ASA online portal, which will open on December 5th. I will also be continuing the tradition of an invited “Chair’s Hour,” which will be held just before the section business meeting. Our section sessions and business meeting will be held on Monday, August 24th, which is our section day. The Social Psychology Section has generously allowed us to continue to co-sponsor their roundtable session. As a result, there will be thematic tables organized around sociology of emotion topics. This is an excellent venue for graduate students to present their work (or for anyone who prefers a less formal setting). Make your plans now to attend these section events.

As always, we have our season of awards nominations coming up as well. This year we will be choosing recipients for three awards. This year we will be choosing candidates for the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Sociology of Emotions. The deadline for nominations for this award is February 1st. Each year our Recent Contribution Award Committee chooses the best published contribution to the Sociology of Emotions, alternating years between books and articles. This year’s committee will be considering articles published within the past three years. Finally, the Graduate Student Paper Award is given out annually, and has a submission deadline of March 1, 2015. Please read the Calls for Nominations for these awards later in this newsletter for more details. Continued page 3

Data  Set  of  Interest  –  The  GDELT  Project  The  Global  Database  of  

Society    

Supported  by  Google  Ideas,  the  GDELT  Project  monitors  the  world's  broadcast,  print,  and  web  news  from  nearly  every  corner  of  every  country  in  over  100  languages  and  identifies  the  

people,  locations,  organizations,  counts,  themes,  sources,  and  events  driving  our  global  society  every  second  of  every  day,  creating  a  free  open  platform  for  computing  on  the  entire  world.    All  540,000  hours  of  English-­‐language  American  television  broadcasts  held  by  the  Internet  Archive's  Television  News  Archive  were  processed  to  extract  the  complete  list  of  people,  organizations,  disambiguated  locations,  and  more  than  2,238  emotions  and  themes  from  each  broadcast.    The  complete  dataset  (only  the  extracted  metadata,  not  the  broadcasts  themselves)  is  available  for  download,  along  with  an  interactive  viewer  timeline  that  allows  you  to  visualize  a  particular  emotion  or  theme  over  the  last  four  years  of  American  television  news.    http://www.gdeltproject.org    

 

Labors  of  Love:  Nursing  Homes  and  the  Structures  of  Care  Work    Jason  Rodriguez  NYU  Press    

Every  day  for  the  next  twenty  years,  more  than  10,000  people  in  the  United  States  will  turn  65.  With  life  expectancies  increasing  as  well,  many  of  these  Americans  will  eventually  require  round-­‐the-­‐clock  attention—and  we  have  only  begun  to  prepare  for  the  challenge  of  caring  for  them.  In  Labors  of  Love,  Jason  Rodriquez  examines  the  world  of  the  fast-­‐growing  elder  care  industry,  providing  a  nuanced  and  balanced  portrait  of  the  day-­‐to-­‐

day  lives  of  the  people  and  organizations  that  devote  their  time  to  supporting  America’s  aging  population.        Through  extensive  ethnographic  research,  interviews  with  staff  and  management,  and  analysis  of  internal  documents,  Rodriquez  explores  the  inner  workings  of  two  different  nursing  homes—one  for-­‐profit  and  one  non-­‐profit—to  understand  the  connections  among  the  administrative  regulations,  the  professional  requirements,  and  the  type  of  care  provided  in  both  types  of  facilities.  He  reveals  a  variety  of  challenges  that  nursing  home  care  workers  face  day  to  day:  battles  over  the  budget;  the  administrative  hurdles  of  Medicaid  and  Medicare;  the  employees’  struggle  to  balance  financial  stability  and  compassionate  care  for  residents.  Yet,  Rodriquez  argues,  nursing  home  workers  give  meaning  and  dignity  to  their  work  by  building  emotional  attachments  to  residents  and  their  care.  An  unprecedented  study,  Labors  of  Love  brings  new  insight  into  the  underlying  structures  of  a  crucial  and  expanding  sector  of  the  American  health  care  system.

Handbook of the Sociology of Emotions Volume II Editors: Jan E. Stets & Jonathan H. Turner

Handbook  of  the  Sociology  of  Emotions  Volume  II  presents  all  new  chapters  in  the  ever-­‐developing  area  of  the  sociology  of  emotions.  The  volume  is  divided  into  two  sections:  Theoretical  Perspectives  and  Social  Arenas  of  Emotions.  It  reviews  major  sociological  theories  on  emotions,  which  include  evolutionary  theory,  identity  theory,  affect  control  theory,  social  exchange  theory,  ritual  theory,  and  cultural  theory  among  others.  Social  arenas  where  emotions  are  examined  include,  but  are  not  limited  to,  the  economy  and  the  workplace,  the  family,  mental  health,  crime,  sports,  technology,  social  movements,  and  the  field  of  science.  All  the  chapters  review  the  major  theories  and  research  in  the  area,  and  each  chapter  ends  with  some  discussion  of  directions  for  future  research.  The  Sociology  of  Emotions  is  a  fast  growing  and  vital  field  in  the  broad  discipline  of  Sociology.  This  volume  II  follows  the  Handbook  of  the  Sociology  of  Emotions  that  was  first  published  in  2006.  In  2008,  this  first  handbook  received  the  

“Outstanding  Recent  Contribution”  in  the  Emotions  Section  of  the  American  Sociological  Association.  With  contributions  from  leading  scholars  from  different  areas  in  the  discipline,  such  as  neurosociology,  culture,  economics,  mental  health,  gender,  social  movements,  discussing  state-­‐of-­‐art  theory  and  research  on  emotions  in  sociology  this  volume  will  generate  wider  appeal  to  the  sociological  community.

   Moral  Wages  offers  the  reader  a  vivid  depiction  of  what  it  is  like  to  work  inside  an  agency  that  assists  victims  of  domestic  violence  and  sexual  assault.  Based  on  over  a  year  of  fieldwork  by  a  man  in  a  setting  many  presume  to  be  hostile  to  men,  this  ethnographic  account  is  unlike  most  research  on  the  topic  of  violence  against  women.  Instead  of  focusing  on  the  victims  or  perpetrators  of  abuse,  Moral  Wages  focuses  exclusively  on  the  service  providers  in  the  middle.  It  shows  how  victim  advocates  and  counselors—who  don't  enjoy  extrinsic  benefits  like  pay,  power,  and  prestige—are  sustained  by  a  different  kind  of  compensation.  As  long  as  they  can  overcome  a  number  of  workplace  dilemmas,  they  earn  a  special  type  of  emotional  reward  reserved  for  those  who  help  others  in  need:  moral  wages.  As  their  struggles  mount,  though,  it  becomes  clear  that  their  jobs  often  put  them  in  impossible  situations—requiring  them  to  aid  and  feel  for  vulnerable  clients,  yet  giving  them  few  and  feeble  tools  to  combat  a  persistent  social  problem.

Goffman’s  Insight  By  Thomas  Scheff    

When  I  was  Goffman’s  TA  in  Berkeley  I  noticed  that  most  of  his  lectures  were  taken  up  with  concrete  examples.  The  students  seemed  to  love  them,  but  I  was  puzzled:  what  are  they  examples  OF?  More  specifically,  I  looked  for  an  instance  where  he  related  a  large  number  of  his  examples  to  a  single  abstract  idea  or  proposition.    

Reading  his  books  raised      this  same  question  for  me,  particularly  his  most  popular  one:  Presentation  of  Self  (1959).  I  could  see  that  this  whole  book  was  organized  around  a  single  metaphor  of  dramaturgy:  people  are  actors  on  the  stage  of  life,  mostly  concerned  with  the  impression  they  are  

making  on  others.  But  why?  

After  many  years  of  searching  the  book,  I  found  a  sentence  that  seemed  to  answer  my  question:  

There  is  no  interaction  in  which  participants  do  not  take  an  appreciable  chance  of  being  slightly  embarrassed  or  a  slight  chance  of  being  deeply  humiliated.  (1959,  p.  243).    

This  statement  occurs  only  in  passing  toward  the  end  of  the  book.  It  asserts  unmistakably  that  ALL  interaction  carries  the  risk  of  embarrassment/humiliation.  This  generalization  helps  explain  not  only  Chapter  6  (Impression  Management),  but  the  whole  book.  The  reason  we  spend  such  time  and  care  managing  our  impressions,  (our  appearance,  talk,  lifestyle,  and  so  on)  Goffman  suggests,  is  to  avoid  shame  in  the  form  of  embarrassment  or  humiliation  as  best  we  can.  Perhaps  he  hit  upon  this  proposition  when  reading  his  own  book,  after  the  fact,  so  to  speak.  “Aha,  that’s  what  all  those  examples  that  I  recorded  were  about!”  

Another  possibility:  he  was  shrewd  enough  to  avoid  putting  off  possible  readers  by  the  glumness  of  his  diagnosis.  For  example,  suppose  the  title  he  chose  has  been:  Presentation  of  Self  to  Avoid  Shame.  The  use  of  the  s-­‐word  these  days  is  at  least  as  taboo  as  the  f-­‐word,  or  maybe  more.  Instead  of  being  one  of  the  most  popular  sociology  books  ever  written,  it  might  have  vanished  into  the  oblivion  inhabited  by  most  scholarly  books,  particularly  those  that  use  the  s-­‐word  openly.

 Chair:  Rebecca  J.  Erickson    Areas  of  Specialization:  Medical  Sociology,  Health  Care  Workforce,  Social  Psychology,  Sociology  of  Emotion,  Gender,  Inequalities,  Qualitative  Research  Methods    Website:    http://unc.academia.edu/MarciCottingham  Email:  cottingham@unc.edu    Marci  Cottingham  is  an  NIH  postdoctoral  research  fellow  in  the  Department  of  

Social  Medicine  at  the  University  of  North  Carolina  at  Chapel  Hill.  She  recently  received  her  Ph.D.  in  sociology  from  the  University  of  Akron.  Her  dissertation  research  focuses  on  the  emotional  labor  of  men  in  nursing  and  the  ways  in  which  individual  men  and  nursing/healthcare  organizations  reconcile  masculinity  with  a  caring  profession.    Drawing  on  data  from  in-­‐depth  interviews,  audio  diaries,  and  recruitment  materials  aimed  at  attracting  men  to  the  profession,  the  study  addresses  gender  negotiation  at  the  individual  and  organizational  levels.  The  study’s  results  advance  our  understanding  of  the  mobilization  of  masculinities  as  a  gendering  practice  at  the  organizational  level  and  the  ongoing  contradictions  that  men  entering  a  caring  profession  confront.  Her  work  has  received  awards  from  the  Society  for  the  Study  of  Social  Problems,  the  Sociology  of  Emotions  section  of  the  American  Sociological  Association,  and  the  Alpha  Kappa  Delta  honor  society.  One  of  her  dissertation  chapters  was  recently  published  in  Gender  &  Society.
