Social Economies of Fear and Desire: Emotional Regulation, Emotion Management, and Embodied Autonomy

This book provides an approach to emotional experience and agency which drastically nuances the commonly held view that fear has predominantly irrational, morally, or ideologically suspect effects which thwart the exercise of autonomy.
