New thematic section from Culture Unbound: “Culture, Work and Emotion”
http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/current-volume.html
 
Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural research is a new open access e-journal that seeks to be a forum for contemporary, cutting edge cultural research from a wide range of disciplinary and interdisciplinary areas. Culture Unbound has just published a new thematic section entitled “Culture, Work and Emotion”.
 
The section has been edited by Can-Seng Ooi and Richard Ek and it provides a wide variety of theoretical and empirical perspectives on the complex entanglement of work, everyday life and the sphere of private emotions. The subjects range from the commercial value of intimacy in the tourism economy, via the art market in Shanghai to a netnographic study of self exposure in social medias. But they all share a common focus on the transformation of concepts such as labour, emotion, economy and identity in contemporary society.
 

Featured articles are:
Can-Seng Ooi & Richard Ek, “Culture, Work and Emotion”
Hing Ai Yun, “Service Workers: Governmentality and Emotion Management”
Szilvia Gyimóthy & Louise Rygaard Jonas, “Branding on the Shop Floor”
Can-Seng Ooi, “Cacophony of Voices and Emotions: Dialogic of Buying and Selling Art”
Johan Hultman & Erika Andersson Cederholm, “Bed, Breakfast and Friendship: Intimacy and Distance in Small-Scale Hospitality Business”
Erika Andersson Cederholm, “Effective Emotions: The Enactment of a Work Ethic in the Swedish Meeting Industry”
Ana María Munar, “Digital Exhibitionism: The Age of Exposure”
Richard Ek, “Epilogue - Towards an Experience Ecology of Relational Emotions”
 
You can access all articles for free at: http://www.cultureunbound.ep.liu.se/current-volume.html
 

We also welcome new article manuscripts in all areas of cultural research, as well as proposals for future theme sections.
