Description
When we speak of crisis and social change, it is often done in numbers: decline in purchasing power, increase in unemployment rates or poverty levels. But what does crisis feel like? What does it mean for people when their supposed securities dissolve? This book explores the emotional experiences of young adults in Spain during the 2008 economic crisis. It examines how the loss of future prospects impacted their lives, leading to feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, frustration and resentment. By combining approaches in the sociology of emotions with Bourdieu's practice theory and interactional theory, the book reveals the impact of structural change on both individual and collective emotions. It demonstrates the connection between emotions and the organisation of society, highlighting how the emotions experienced by people serve as indicators of a society in transition.
