Abstract

In her book Cold Intimacies: Emotions and Late Capitalism, the Israeli sociologist Eva Illouz begins with the thesis that capitalism has created an emotional culture, which is found in both the work place as well as intimate relationships. The increasing rationalization of emotional life and the concurrent emotionalizing of work processes characterize this “emotional capitalism.”
