Second Edition "The Routledge International Handbook of Emotions and Media"

Second edition of the internationally renowned handbook "The Routledge International Handbook of Emotions and Media" published.

In times of a worldwide pandemic, the election of a new US president, "MeToo" and "Fridays for Future", to name just a few examples, it is noticeable: the emotional impact of the media on
individuals and society cannot be underestimated. The relationships between media, people and society are largely based on human emotions. Emotions are essential for understanding how media messages are processed and how media influence individual and social behaviour as well as public social life.

 

Second edition of the handbook

The second, completely revised and updated edition of the Routledge International Handbook of Emotions and Media, edited by Prof. Dr. habil. Katrin Döveling and Prof. Dr. Elly A. Konijn, takes an interdisciplinary approach to the study of emotions in the media context and covers areas such as evolutionary psychology, media psychology, media sociology, cultural studies, media entertainment, and political and digital communication.
