Internet and Emotions

By Tova Benski

This book investigates a wide range of issues concerning the sociology of emotions in the context of new media, filling a substantial gap in the social research of digital technology. It examines the extent to which the internet invokes emotional states differently from other media and unmediated situations, how emotions are mobilized and internalized into online practices, and how the social definitions of emotions are changing with the emergence of the internet.
