- Abstract
- Disorder: Giving Form to Feeling in the Late Twentieth Century United States is a work of close formal literary analysis situated in a cultural history of emotion. In this work I argue that there is a period of roughly thirty years in the late twentieth century United States in which there existed a greater multiplicity and diversity of definitions of emotion and prescriptions for managing emotional lives. My research asks how emotional life was defined and emotional engagements were formally afforded in discreet fictional genres and in dialogue with other, sometimes contending and sometimes complementary, narratives of emotion from politics, popular culture, and most consistently, the behavioral sciences between 1968 and 1995.
