'This multi-disciplinary collection effectively hits every dimension of its title. It contains incisive engagements with concepts and illustrations of emotions, politics and war. It will serve as an outstanding text for scholars and students interested in a philosophically attuned approach to war’s experiential implications.' - Michael J. Shapiro, University of Hawai’i at Manoa'In this valuable contribution to the emerging field of scholarship at the nexus of experience, aesthetics, and war, Åhäll and Gregory provide a unique collection of essays that engage questions of what it means to be human, to whom we grant that standing, and how we might first admit, and then make sense of, the darkly pleasurable horrors of violence. The authors offer a range of methodologies to better understand how we might theorise emotions, showing that there is much to be learned from mixed-method, multidisciplinary approaches to the tangled emotionality of war.' - Laura J. Shepherd, Associate Professor of International Relations at UNSW Australia‘If emotions have never been missing from our politics, or our very experience of existence, why have they been missing from our knowledge? In an age increasingly without bearings, this splendid and important work offers an authoritative guide for understanding the emotional political of war’ Anthony Burke, Associate Professor International and Political Studies Program at UNSW, Australia
