It has been defined as a purely biological reality, derided as an excuse for cowardice, attacked as a force for social control, and even denigrated as an unnatural condition that has no place in the disenchanted world of enlightened modernity. In these times of institutionalized insecurity and global terror, Facing Fear sheds light on the meaning, diversity, and dynamism of fear in multiple world-historical contexts, and demonstrates how fear universally binds us to particular presents but also to a broad spectrum of memories, stories, and states in the past. From the eighteenth-century Peruvian highlands and the California borderlands to the urban cityscapes of contemporary Russia and India, this book collectively explores the wide range of causes, experiences, and explanations of this protean emotion. The volume contributes to the thriving literature on the history of emotions and destabilizes narratives that have often understood fear in very specific linguistic, cultural, and geographical settings. Rather, by using a comparative, multidisciplinary framework, the book situates fear in more global terms, breaks new ground in the historical and cultural analysis of emotions, and sets out a new agenda for further research. In addition to the editors, the contributors are Alexander Etkind, Lisbeth Haas, Andreas Killen, David Lederer, Melani McAlister, Ronald Schechter, Marla Stone, Ravi Sundaram, and Charles Walker. 606 $aFear$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aFear$xPolitical aspects$xHistory 606 $aHistory, Modern 606 $aWorld politics 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFear$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aFear$xPolitical aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aHistory, Modern. 615 0$aWorld politics. 676 $a152.4/609 701 $aLaffan$b Michael Francis$f1969-$0887853 701 $aWeiss$b Max$f1977-$0517518 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910462323003321 996 $aFacing fear$92450944 997 $aUNINA
