Unveiling Emotions: Sources and Methods for the Study of Emotions in the Greek World

Angelos Chaniotis, Professor in the School of Historical Studies, has edited Unveiling Emotions: Sources and Methods for the Study of Emotions in the Greek World (Franz Steiner Verlag, 2012). The volume presents the first results of research conducted through “The Social and Cultural Construction of Emotions: The Greek Paradigm,” a project funded by the European Research Council. It includes introductory chapters addressing the study of emotions in antiquity, followed by ten case studies in which manifestations of emotions are studied in connection with a variety of media and contexts.
