> Culture Unbound: Journal of Current Cultural research is a new

> 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.
