Voici le dernier livre de Barbara Rosenwein, à peine sorti : un livre plus grand public, une histoire de la colère à travers temps et espaces. Un petit livre agréable à emporter avec soi dans son hamac ou à la plage... (ce que nous ferons).  Yale University Press, 2020Format: HardcoverPrice: $26.00 Tracing the story of anger from the Buddha to Twitter, Rosenwein provides a much-needed account of our changing and contradictory understandings of this emotionAll of us think we know when we are angry, and we are sure we can recognize anger in others as well. But this is only superficially true. We see anger through lenses colored by what we know, experience, and learn.Barbara H. Rosenwein traces our many conflicting ideas about and expressions of anger, taking the story from the Buddha to our own time, from anger’s complete rejection to its warm reception. Rosenwein explores how anger has been characterized by gender and race, why it has been tied to violence and how that is often a false connection, how it has figured among the seven deadly sins and yet is considered a virtue, and how its interpretation, once largely the preserve of philosophers and theologians, has been gradually handed over to scientists—with very mixed results. Rosenwein shows that the history of anger can help us grapple with it today. Barbara H. Rosenwein is professor emerita at Loyola University Chicago. She is the author of numerous books, including Anger's Past: The Social Uses of an Emotion in the Middle Ages and Generations of Feeling: A History of Emotions, 600–1700. et un avant-goût de la table des matières : INTRODUCTION1  Part 1 ANGER REJECTED ALMOST ABSOLUTELY9  Part 2 ANGER AS A VICE BUT ALSO SOMETIMES AS A VIRTUE81  Part 3 NATURAL ANGER
