Frank Biess is associate professor of history at the University of California, San Diego. His scholarly work on the history of postwar Germany is widely respected and he s currently at work on a history of fear and anxiety in Germany after the War. Daniel Gross is associate professor of English at the University of California, Irvine, and the author of The Secret History of Emotion: From Aristotle s Rhetoric to Modern Brain Science (UCP, 2006), as well as of a book on Heidegger and Aristotle s Rhetoric. Among current trends in interdisciplinary scholarship, the emotions (and history of emotions) continues strong as the hottest area of historical inquiry. There is already an important journal, Emotion Review, which celebrates emotions as now constituting one of the great hubs in the scientific study of the human condition. Biess and Gross have assembled the smartest and most prominent scholars working in the history of science and history of emotions, two fields which this book is the first to conjoin. Known already as the emotional or affective turn, the trend can be explained as the product of a gradual rediscovery of emotion as an analytical category after a period of dormancy. Biological and physiological models of emotion, thanks to the growth of neuroscience, are fueling this rediscovery, and this edited volume is organized according to the different scientific disciplines in which emotions figure in (neuroscience, medicine, psychiatry, social sciences), but in each case bringing a humanities perspective to bear on the concepts, methods, and data. The period 1945 to the present corresponds with the erosion of rationalism as the dominant feature of the social sciences, giving way, once again, to the emotions. The book offers a new way of thinking about the origins of the emotional turn, and offers a much-needed transnational perspective. In order to place the sciences of emotions into larger social and cultural contexts, the contributors draw from the humanities interpretive approachescritical, rhetorical, narratologicalto frame the meanings and histories of emotions."
