EmotionographyTheory, Research, and Practice\nAuthor(s): Jonathan Potter, Alexa Hepburn\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: American Psychological Association, United States\nImprint: American Psychological Association\nISBN-13: 9781433842702, 978-1433842702\nSynopsis\nHow does emotion arise in everyday settings? How can it be studied in the real world?\n\nIn this book, authors Jonathan Potter and Alexa Hepburn offer their distinctive approach to the study of emotion. Emotionography explores emotion not through scales, experiments, or interviews, but as it actually occurs in natural interactions. Drawing on discursive psychology and conversation analysis, the authors' detailed analytic toolkit for representing talk, timing, and conduct makes visible how emotion is displayed, oriented to, and managed moment by moment. Step-by-step case examples show how crying and upset, laughter, and anger can be understood from an emotionographic perspective.\n\nEmotion is live, consequential, and intera.
