Hysterical: Exploding the Myth of Gendered Emotions

內容簡介

內容簡介 性別是如何影響我們對情緒的認知進而成為「刻板印象」？女孩子被認為應該是「蜜糖、香料和所有美好的事物」構成，對男孩卻說「男孩不哭」，這樣的刻板印象其來有自。行為數據學家Pragya Agarwal博士，深入探討性別與情感的關係，與背後的歷史典故與科學數據，如何影響他們在歷史上的角色，並點出在未來，當這樣的界線越來越模糊後，我們又可以期待看到何種多元的轉變。Emotions can be difficult things to define, yet we all recognise them when we feel them or see them in others. How we interpret those emotions and act on them has been heavily gendered, as far back as Ancient Greek and Roman times and - despite the improvements in societal equality - continues to be today.We've all heard the sayings that girls should be 'sugar and spice and all things nice', while 'boys don't cry'. In Hysterical, Pragya Agarwal dives deep into the history and science that has determined the gendering of emotions to ask whether there is any truth in the notion of innate differences between the male and female experience of emotions. She examines the impact this has on men and women - especially the role it has played in the subjugation of women throughout history - and how a future where emotions are ungendered might look.
