A Politics and Emotion:  Berezin.  some examples of what you could "pull" from the chapter ALL - not just those in group; all can participate.
1	one individual in an emotional zone is not necessarily codifying, managing, mobilizing the emotion.  p 35.  if s/he is codifying, managing, mobilizing the emotion, then she transforms emo into culturally acceptable behaviors.  The function of emo - when personal is political.  The micro as political.   example:  fight prone - balance within - harmony without - better at work, better for all.
2	Aristotle has a list of 10 emotions page 37:  have some abstract fun with them.  How diagram his 10 in terms of social relationship of power, loss (fear) v. love, male - female or other social variable
3	secure state - can become an insecure state.  Influx of immigrants.  melting pot to stark to starker immigration in the US:  jobs, language immigration in Europe:  jobs, language, clothes, law (women)
4	communities of feeling - see pages 39-40.  See the story about "buy war bonds" as an example of how a group can feel something  9/11, B.O., Burning Man, Super Bowl, A Song, an act of nature, a winner (all the winner programs and movies), revenge, duty, pride, shame.
5	page 40-42.  on embedding emo in political institutions.  there are emo bonds and feelings of national unity.  Propinquity has a lot to do with it - immigration - Barack Obama - consciousness
6	p 45.  Ritual eliminates indeterminacy in social space.  Public political ritual creates an open interpretive space.  Show this.
7	p. 46 the more fragile the group solidarity, the more likely the group is to respond with violence.
8	p. 47-48 There is a commitment to the familiar and a fear of instability.  Threats to group security.    Security allows generosity.
9	p. 48 in a secure state, we can define what we have a "right to expect" in a secure state, we have a national community of feeling
10	p. 49  institutions of state can collapse as they did in Eastern European countries:  in what historical story do you life, e.g., Armenian immigrants - sharing the story? This means any story - narrative - of sociological and spiritual awakening, for the personal is the political.

A "politics" - interest in when collective emotion becomes action - or dissipates?  historical revolutions or rebellions or riots?  action in the street?  action in any context.  "social currents" (Durkheim)

B Crisis or Exuberance   Kemper -  some examples of what you could "pull" from the chapter.  ALL - not just those in group; all can participate.
1  there are individual emotions and group emotions.  Individuals have different positions vis-a-vis a group emotion	Any group fear or group joy is marked by different emotional responses among the participants. Kemper calls it a "division of labor."  This would hold from everything from "revolution" or "riot" and social class to a burglary and how the man responds vs. how the woman responds to political joy and the variation in emotion between supporters and detractors
2 all theories have to predict; therefore a theory of emotions has to predict either when emotions arise or when collective emotions give rise to action	do all theories have to predict? some are classificatory.
3 p 54 55  the distinction between power and status	emotional difference when sometimes we have to do things because we feel or are forced (power by someone else to assert his will) and other times we do things because we accord one another status.
4 p. 56 what comes from what	anger from loss of status fear from loss of power sadness from irremediable loss of status joy from gain of status guilt from use of too much power shame when act in manner belying status
5  57-59 who felt what at 9/11 in NY	p 66 - present the table for discussion
6  joy, jubilation, victory	what group emotion sample do you have where a group felt joy?  what "division of labor" did various people have around the joy?  what social action came from the joy or did it just dissipate?  You could even take something like the Super Bowl and include all parties including people stuck in the kitchen, if any, people who bet and who didn't, people who were for the Cardinals, people who didn't care if they were there.  Or take the election of the President - and a group.
7 59 - 62 what is the benefit of predicting emotions and/or dealing with emotions?	You could use some journal experience for this one
8 p 62-63 leadership and legitimacy.	"Representatives cannot indifferently conclude agreements that defy their group's prevailing sentiments without courting a legitimacy crisis.this would be a good place to discuss the economic crisis and emotion and the new economic stimulus proposal
9 emotion and crisis in interpersonal networks and extended families	find a reference in 1-2 of the sections above in this Topic B to help illuminate a group vulnerability in a group you know.  describe the group emotion and the division of labor of individuals around that emotion
10 money and emotion	different forms of sharing; the extended family and financial support (caring for children, caring for elderly, pitching in), forms of cutbacks people recently did - do a survey; tell stories; draw the picture

B "crisis" or "solution" - interest in individual or collective emotion from crisis or answer (e.g., Obama)

2 p 115 peer review seen anthropologically is seen as an exchange of gifts. paradox:  science as a vlue and desire for recognition	the researcher presents his or her results to the scientific community and where, on the BASIS of the logic of gift-giving, acceptance of the gift implies a recognition of the status of the giver - (giver is a valued researcher).
